Yuvraj Singh laments not being a permanent part of any IPL franchise

From being the most expensive purchase in the history of the IPL to being taken by the Mumbai Indians for his base price with no competing bidders, Yuvraj Singh has seen it all. The all-rounder has scored 2,750 runs in the IPL with 36 wickets in the 132 matches he played. Yuvraj Singh didn't really get going in the cash-rich league, which is why he could never stay with a specific team for an extended period. Now, Yuvraj Singh has expressed his disappointment over not being with a franchise for a long time unlike a few of his teammates.

Yuvraj Singh cited examples of Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma saying that they have played for the same franchise team for many years. He added them playing for one franchise has helped them form a base but he had never been able to get a permanent place. 

Over the years, Yuvraj Singh kept moving from one team to another. Apart from Kings XI Punjab, the all-rounder played for Pune Warriors India in 2011 and 2013. He went on to play for Bangalore in 2014, Delhi in 2015, Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016 and 2017 and finally for Mumbai Indians in 2019.
