5. Yuvraj’s struggle

KXIP surprised everyone in a pleasant way in the IPL auction when they secured Yuvraj Singh for their team. Yuvraj Singh was the marquee player of Kings XI Punjab in the inaugural IPL so this was a nice gesture. Because looking at the recent form of Yuvraj Singh, he was not someone to pin your hopes on.

Yuvraj Singh, who is 36-year old now, is not in the best form of his life. But knowing Yuvi, he can return to the form in no time. Often called as the cleanest hitter in the game, Yuvraj is blessed with the sweetest timing of the ball. But the timing was missing in first two outings. He scored 12(22) in the first match while he was clean bowled for 4 in the last match by Yadav.

Unless Yuvi finds a way to come out of the rut, Punjab will have to look beyond the veteran batsman.
