Yuvraj Singh once a golden boy for the whole generation of Indians, looks to have passed his prime. During the 2000s the southpaw was one of the cleanest strikers of the cricket ball. He was a nightmare for the bowlers and a delight for the fans and neutrals. Yuvraj Singh is one of the biggest match-winners India has ever produced in limited overs cricket. The southpaw, known for his elegantly timed shots and handy left-arm spin bowling, was a permanent fixture in India's 50 and 20 overs side till 2011.

Yuvraj has won 34 'man of the match' awards in 362 limited overs appearances for India, Yuvraj's tally of MOM awards exceed those won by the likes of Sehwag, Dhoni, Rohit, and Raina whereas in the IPL he has only 5 such awards in 128 appearances.

The man of the tournament in the ICC World Cup in 2011 and a major part of the 2007 T20WC team, Yuvraj has never set the IPL on fire. He has scored 2652 runs in the IPL till date, at an average and strike rate of 24.68 and 130, respectively. Moreover, in his last 45 games in the IPL, Yuvraj has scored only 801 runs at an average of 20 and a strike rate of 120. Considering the bids he has attracted in the last few auctions, Yuvraj has been a disappointment, both for the fans and the owners. These stats clearly show that Yuvraj has become one of IPL's top under-performers.
