IPL 2019 Auction: 5 Players KXIP should release before the auction

#1 Yuvraj Singh

It has not been a happy homecoming for Yuvi

Yuvraj Singh, the man who made a home return last season after spending his initial years with KXIP was expected to be a mega boost for the franchise.

But the left-hander was not able to cope up with the expectations and had one of the worst IPL seasons in his 11-year league career.

In 2017, Singh smashed 252 runs in his 11 outings for Sunrisers Hyderabad at an average of 28.

His decent performance in the previous outings made Kings XI Punjab spent ₹ 2 crores for his services in 2018 season.

However, his return has not been fruitful as expected and forced out of the team in the second half of the tournament. The 36-year-old could only manage 65 at a below-par average of 10.83.

Yuvraj's career post-IPL 2018 has been quite decent as the batsman amassed 264 runs at an average of 37.71 in his seven outings.

But with age being a factor, he has not been as good as past in T20 format. Which might play a big role in his release from the squad.
