Yuvraj Singh played for many IPL franchises like Kings XI Punjab, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Pune Warriors and Delhi Capitals. The former all-rounder was signed up by the Mumbai Indians last season but his poor form with the bat soon put him out of the playing XI. The stint with KXIP in 2018 was the World Cup winner's second stint with the franchise, having started his career with them as its captain in the 2008 season.
