After a long time, Yuvraj Singh returned to his old fr⛄anchise, King𝔍s XI Punjab, as the India veteran was snapped up by the Punjab outfit for his base price — Rs. 2 crore.
While Sunrisers Hyderabad decided not to use the Right to Match Card, the Bollywood actress Preity Zinta co-owned outfit decided to get Yuvraj back into the side. In the inaugural edition of the IPL in 2008, Yuvraj had captained the Kings and later trave𝓰lled to other franchises.
Preity꧑ Zinta also took to Twitter to express her delight over the re꧑turn of Yuvraj Singh.
