IPL 2018: Twitter spares no one! Yuvraj Singh trolled for poor form as MI beat KXIP
Indore: The name Yuvraj Singh once ruled the cricket world. He struck fear in heart of opposition bowlers, whenever he used to come into bat. Known for his 6 sixes in World T20 in 2007 and man-of-the-series performance in the 2011 World Cup, the 36-year-old used to have fans waiting for the destructive batting display.
After overcoming cancer, life has changed drastically for the left-handed player. He lost his spot in the Indian side. The Indian Premier League provided him the chance to get back to his groove, but the 2018 season also has been a let down for the Punjab star.
Brought by Kings XI Punjab at his base price of Rs 2 crore, the World Cup winner have endured torrid time with the bat and having one of his worst IPL seasons. Not only his bating form has been a worry, but he also created an unwanted record during the match against Mumbai Indians.
Yuvraj who scores 14 off 14 balls took his strike-rate in IPL 2018 to 91.42 , which is the the worst for any player that has faced 50 or more balls this season. The Punjab cricketer has so far played seven matches, scoring a total of 64 runs at an average of 12.80.
Social media Twitter has been abuzz with tweets regarding Yuvraj’s current form
Kings XI what kind of team selection is this Yuvraj Singh and Mayank Agarwal one after another in playing XI and Manoj Tewari one chance and dropped what's the great idea of dropping him and bringing same player and result is the same.May be different players different rules.

Yuvraj Singh was included because of the backlash Ashwin faced by after dropping him from the team... Akshdeep Nath would've been a better choice

It is sad to see Yuvi in this form. Hopefully he is used at 3 again and gets some big runs next match... #KXIPvMI #YuvrajSingh @virendersehwag @ashwinravi99 Yuvraj Singh #IPL2018 #KXIP #MumbaiIndians
