Legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who has often heaped praises on Yuvraj Singh, for his ability to score runs at the brisk pace. He will be donning the Mumbai Indians’ (MI) jersey for the twelfth edition of the IPL 2019. Tendulkar maintained his former Team India teammate will entertain Mumbai crowd with his sheer stroke-making.
As Yuvraj is sweating out in news to start afresh in the Indian Premier League (IPL), MI’s mentor has set focus on his ability to clear the 30-yard circle with a minimum of an effort.
The franchise Twitter handle maintained the Mumbaikar knows what is the requirement.
“The Little Master surely knows a thing or two about what Mumbai likes. #CricketMeriJaan #OneFamily @sachin_rt @YUVSTRONG12,” MI tweeted.
Tendulkar reckons Yuvraj’s power-hitting prowess bring a lot to the table in the shortest version of the game. After going unsold, Yuvraj was bought by Indians at his base price of INR crore.
In the previous edition, Yuvraj was the part of Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), he featured in eight fixtures in which he could accumulate 65 runs. But, the bleak show, has forced Kings XI to release the senior campaigner from their squad ahead of the league.
Yuvraj, who has already left a legacy would himself be keen to perform for the Indians. Earlier, Rohit Sharma reiterated Yuvraj’s inclusion will strengthen the middle-order line-up
In Overall 128 matches, Yuvraj has scored 2652 runs at an average of 24.78.
Rohit-led Indians will take on Shreyas Iyer’s overhauled Delhi Capitals (DC) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on March 24.
Talking about Mumbai’s domination in the IPL, they’ve won three titles. On the other side, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) led by CSK has won their third title last year by beating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Wankhede.
“Mumbai’s crowd is going to be entertained with Yuvraj’s special ability to clear the ring effortlessly,” Tendulkar told as MI’s Twitter handle revealed while posting a picture of Yuvraj during a practice session.
In past, Yuvraj has highly praised Tendulkar for achieving most of the records under his belt.
