Yuvraj Singh in IPL: The transformation from 2008-2017 in pictures

2010 - Poor form and attitude raise questions

Yuvraj’s team could not match up to the potential of 2008.

The importance of Yuvraj Singh for the Punjab team was clearly highlighted when he had a poor season with the bat, and the team languished at the bottom of the points table. The return of Brett Lee had little bearing on their fortunes, as they lost a total of ten matches and were at the bottom of the points table . Yuvraj was blamed for his poor form and attitude in the 3rd edition, as was replaced by Kumar Sangakkara as captain.

He was removed as captain of the Kings XI.

2011 - New team, old fortunes

A new team could not bring new luck for Yuvraj

Named captain of the new IPL team, the Sahara Pune Warriors India, Yuvraj could not galvanise the new side in their inaugural season, captaining them to a penultimate position finish. As a batsman, he carried a part of his form from the 2011 World Cup, where he was the player of the tournament, scoring 343 runs at an average of 34.3.

The Pune side finished seventh in their first season.
