With 304 ODIs and 58 T20s under his belt, Yuvraj has not been able to fire in for Punjab in domestic cricket too.
“Paaji failed in the last match in Mohali. We had come with high hopes to watch him smack the bowlers in the match against Chennai Super Kings. Unfortunately, he could not fire. Lack of footwork did him and he had to walk back. I hope he comes out all guns blazing in the next match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He is a comeback star, he will be back with a bang,” said a fan during the match.
Kings XI Punjab acquired the services of Yuvraj at his base price of Rs 2 crore after no other franchise showed any interest in the World Cup winner. It is worth recalling that he was picked up for a record Rs 16 crore during the 2015 auction.
