Veteran India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh skipping the ongoing seventh round of the Ranji Trophy has created furore among fans on social media platform Twitter. No confirmation regarding Yuvraj missing the match has further created the stir.
Having made himself unavailable for the Punjab team in a bid to not deny a spot for a youngster, Yuvraj returned back to play three matches. With Yuvraj missing this match, there are murmurs of him taking part due to the recently concluded ahead of the IPL auction.
Having scored 78 runs at an average of 19.50 in three matches, Yuvraj put on display a dismal show for his state. Despite that, he was bought for INR 1 crore by Mumbai Indians in the second round after remaining unsold in the first one.
After Indians bid for him, Yuvraj received instant approbation by his fans and even his previous franchise in Kings XI Punjab for watching him remain unsold seemed to be too much for them. With a plentiful fan-following to his name, the sight of Yuvraj playing for his sixth IPL franchise appeared to go well with his fans.
Having said that, Yuvraj’s decision to not play the Ranji Trophy match against Hyderabad at Hyderabad gives the impression of backfiring at him for he has received a significant amount of flak for the same. Read some of the latest Twitter reactions on Yuvraj below:
• Yuvraj made himself available for 3 Ranji games before the #IPLAuction
• Fails to make any impact, yet gets picked by best friend Zaheer Khan at base price in the Auction.
• Off for Christmas with friends.Punjab cricket continues to let itself be expolited by it’s stars.

I love Yuvraj as much as anyone and will always respect his contribution to our white ball cricket, but taking a youngster’s place at this stage of his career was a disappointing decision.

He is not picked for cricket. Picked for being MI’s poster boy, cricket will be bonus.

There is a huge difference between ‘was’ & ‘is’.. Reality is he is finished n should retire silently.. Wastage of money n youngster spot

He played just for ipl auction,
After the auctions were over, opted out of todays match against hyderabad, such a selfish player— King Rohit (@KingRoh56371584) December 22, 2018
And to think someone like Manoj Tiwary went unsold in spite scoring big every domestic seoson & every IPL seoson he gets a decent amount of games in is so sad

Yuvraj has always been one of the biggest match winners, but after that cancer, his form has dropped and it hasn’t returned yet, I guess this will be the last IPL season for him.

Don’t quite agree Zak picked him ….but yes when they find time to turn out for IPL where there is money why not turn out for Ranji and help youngsters. Have immense respect for him for what he did for India but now it’s coming to a point where he is losing respect.

True I feel he should go with grace.
