IPL 2018: 5 key Indian players for Kings XI Punjab

#4 Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh is back in KXIP colours

Yuvraj Singh has fallen down the pecking order as far as selection in the Indian cricket team is concerned. But he still is a force to reckon with, especially in the shortest form of cricket.

The left hander is destructive against both spin and pace and doesn't take too long to get his eye-in. This rare quality of striking from ball number one made him one of the fierce middle order batsmen in T20s.

He has played for many different teams in the IPL over the past 10 seasons and this year he is back with the Kings XI Punjab.

He is crucial for the KXIP middle order and can also chip in with a few overs as and when required. He will also bring invaluable experience in the dressing room and the young players will have a lot to learn from him.

Singh has featured in 120 games in the IPL so far and has scored 2587 runs at a strike rate of 131.18. He has 12 half centuries to his name. He has been quite useful with the ball as well, picking up 36 wickets at an economy rate of 7.37 runs per over.
