The most celebrated leagues of India, Indian Premier League is set to begin from March 23. However, while walking down the Wankhede stairs for the practice session of Mumbai Indians franchise prior to the upcoming IPL, veteran India player Yuvraj Singh reminisces India’s World Cup winning memory in 2011.

Mumbai Indians took Twitter and shared the video where Yuvraj Singh was talking about the World Cup win. Yuvraj further revealed the weight of his bat also when Krunal Pandya asked him. It apparently weighs 2.8 kgs. Meanwhile, a lot of hopes will be on him as he was one of the best players on his time and will surely try to use his expectations.
