Mumbai Indians paid Rs 1 crore for Yuvraj Singh in a last-minute buy and franchise owner Akash Ambai called it their biggest steal in the tournament’s 11-year-old history.

Mumbai Indians also brought back Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga, who served the team for long, at his base price of Rs 2 crore.

“To be honest, we had budgeted a lot more for Yuvraj and Malinga. At Rs one crore, a player like Yuvraj is probably a (biggest) steal of 12 (sic) years. He has won every trophy there is to be won,” Ambani told the host broadcaster of the auction.

“We focussed on experience a lot as well on the youngsters. We have identified specific roles for both of them (Yuvraj and Malinga).”

Yuvraj initially went unsold in the auction and it was only after he re-entered the players’ pool, Mumbai Indians bought him.

In 2015, Yuvraj fetched a record Rs 16 crore deal with the Delhi franchise since then his IPL fortunes have fallen rapidly. He was picked up by KXIP at his base of price of Rs 2 crore earlier this year before the team released him following a lean 2018 IPL.

Meanwhile the fans of Chennai Super Kings had sky level expectation on their franchise as they believed  them to bid the all rounder. Their confidence touched another level when they witnessed a post from the official page of Chennai Super Kings.

Few moments before the bidding Chennai Super King’s Official twitter account posted a tweet hinting Yuvraj singh to be featured in yellow jersey for coming IPL season. The tweet included a GIF image of epic cult classic “Thalapathy” movie’s popular friendship song “Kaatukuyilu” in which Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth and Malayalam Superstar Mammooty would shake their legs together.

Did Chennai Super Kings Official Page Just Confirmed Yuvi’s Entry Into The CSK Team ?? Check Out !!

The thing which made sure that they are also hoping the entry of Yuvi into the team is nothing but their caption. It read as “Now on repeat mode hoping for the best! If YOU know what WE mean! #PrideOf19 #WhistlePodu”

If you could able to read those words which are written in capital letters alone, you would have came to an conclusion what that GIF image stand for.

Yes, they are compared Rajinikanth and Mammooty to MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh respectively. Check out their tweet here :

Chennai Super Kings finally completed their squad as they bought Mohit Sharma (5 Crores) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (20 lacs) adding them to the pool of their already retained players in the Indian Premier League 2019 auction. While Mohit has been a part of the franchise in the past, they have roped in an opener in Ruturaj Gaekwad who they can use as per conditions. MS Dhoni will be back to leading the franchise as they will be eyeing an elusive fourth IPL title.
