IPL 2018: 4 reasons why the Kings XI Punjab are favourites to win the IPL

#4 The return of the King

Yuvraj Singh is back to where he belongs

After spending eight years away from his state-based franchise Yuvraj Singh is back to the franchise he started his career at. In the inaugural edition of the IPL in 2008 Yuvraj Singh started his IPL career as an icon player for the Kings XI Punjab. Following his poor form, he was removed as the icon player in 2010. His captaincy stint for KXIP was unimpressive as he did not get them going in the league.

In the second decade of the IPL, a much more experienced Yuvraj Singh is coming back to the Kings XI Punjab. He was wounded after the 2010 season and as they say, a wounded lion is more dangerous than a healthy one. Once in for all the lion will come back to where he belongs to stamp his authority and dominance. This can be a breakthrough moment for Yuvi's career and this career defying IPL may even help him to make an international comeback.

In the process, Yuvraj will regain his lost pride and help the Kings XI to success. Even with this kind of batting lineup Yuvraj Singh's name should be written in bold.

With an incredible set of players, the Kings XI Punjab would want to convert this opportunity to a golden one as they will look to get their hands on the ever shining trophy.
