IPL 2014: Will Yuvraj’s Addition To RCB Add More STEEL?

Indian Premier League’s auctions are coming up soon and the murmurs have already doing the rounds. A report published in the Times of India, stated that Royal Challengers skipper Virat Kohli has asked Yuvraj Singh, to join their team. Royal Challengers Bangalore already have a list of big stars in their ranks with the likes of Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers adding firepower and if Yuvraj signs up, RCB can become a force to reckon with.

In the past, Yuvraj Singh had represented, now defunct, Sahara Pune Warriors and was also the part of Kings XI Punjab. And post his comeback, one can clearly see that ‘Yuvi’ has still got the hunger in him; the 32-year-old has seven fifties from 34 T20Is and has a menacing strike-rate of over 153. His performance in IPL has also been decent with five fifties and a strike-rate of a little over 130. What else does one require?

Even though the southpaw does not feature in the ODIs, the Punjab star still remains a tough nut to crack in the 20-over format. Remember his belligerent innings of 77 against the Aussies last year at Rajkot!

Royal Challengers Bangalore has never won an IPL championship, but if Yuvraj joins the ship there are chances that the Vijay Mallya-team can be considered as title contenders this year.

Just imagining the line-up of the Royal Challengers Bangalore – powerhouses like Chris Gayle, Yuvraj Singh, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. Such a team that will even make Sir Alex Ferguson envy!

The ICC T20 World Cup which begins from March 16, can be the saving grace for cricketer Yuvraj Singh. The selectors might have a look at the cricketer who was the pioneer behind the side winning their first ever T20 championship.

If incase your memory is that BAD, we will revisit it for you:


PS: Also, Siddharta and Yuvraj can be best of ‘mates’ too (PSST: both dated the same lady – Deepika)
