Yuvraj Singh

One of the game's greatest all-rounders and finishers, Yuvraj Singh has also represented six different IPL teams during his career - Kings XI Punjab, Pune Warriors India, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Daredevils, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians.

He skipped the 2012 season because of his cancer treatment.

Kings XI Punjab - 51 matches (2008, 2009, 2010, 2018)

Pune Warriors India - 27 matches (2011, 2013)

Royal Challengers Bangalore - 14 matches (2014)

Delhi Daredevils - 14 matches (2015)

Sunrisers Hyderabad - 22 matches (2016, 2017)

Mumbai Indians - 4 matches (2019)

In 126 innings, Yuvraj accumulated 2751 runs at an average of 24.78 including 13 fifties and only four ducks. He scored at a healthy strike rate of 129.76 and opened the batting twice.

Yuvraj's highest score was 83 against Rajasthan Royals while representing Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Yuvraj also bowled 144.5 overs, claiming 36 wickets at an average of 29.92. He has a unique record of taking two hat-tricks in a single season (2009).

Representing Kings XI Punjab, he dismissed RCB’s Robin Uthappa, Jacques Kallis and Mark Boucher to register his first hat-trick. He later claimed the wickets of Deccan Chargers Herschelle Gibbs, Andrew Symonds and Venugopal Rao to complete his second.

Yuvraj became the then most expensive player bought in the history of the IPL auction when RCB shelled out INR 14 crore for him in 2014. He is also the first player ever to score fifties for five different IPL franchises - Kings XI Punjab, Pune Warriors India, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Daredevils and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
