Yuvraj and Nehra are currently standing at different positions in their professional career. While Nehra has hung his boots and has taken up coaching responsibilities, Yuvraj stills wants to stay in the mix and is fighting it out with the Big Boys.

Yuvi has been waiting for his turn after being dropped from the Indian squad following a string of failures in the Champion Trophy. He was picked up by the Kings XI Punjab in the auctions at his base price of 2 crores. He was included in the playing XI initially but could not leave an impact and had to make way for Manoj Tiwary.

In 7 matches, Yuvi has only managed 64 runs at an appalling average of 12.80. While Ashwin showed a lot of faith in the southpaw, he had to ultimately desert him in the greater good of the team. On the other hand, Nehra is currently part of the RCB set up.

At the Holkar stadium in Indore, the two were spotted dancing together when the DJ played the famous Punjabi number, “Ishq Tera Tadpave”. The crowd cheered as they saw the two embracing each other warmly.

The friendship between Nehra and Yuvi that began during their playing days has been intact. If anything, it has only strengthened over the years.
