‘Time to Support Mumbai Again’: Twitter Celebrates Yuvi Joining MI

Twitter celebrates Mumbai Indians buying Yuvraj Singh in the 2019 IPL auction.

After the rude wake-up call of going unsold in the first round of the 2019 IPL auction in Jaipur, Yuvraj Singh has finally found a team for the upcoming season with Mumbai Indians picking him up for Rs 1 crore.

"If you are wondering why this took time...we've just got back to senses! Welcome to Mumbai," tweeted Mumbai Indians.

Yuvraj secured a last minute deal but his IPL fortunes have been declining rapidly. In 2015, he fetched a record Rs 16 crore deal with the Delhi franchise but was picked up by KXIP at his base of price of Rs 2 crore last season before the team released him in the transfer window last month.

Yuvraj’s fans took to Twitter to celebrate his Mumbai Indians recruitment.

Mumbai Indians will welcome The World Cup Veteran Yuvraj Singh in the team who will be playing for his 6th IPL Team! 💙💙

There were quite some shockers as well where the Top Notch Capped Players were not picked as well. Indeed Jaw Dropping 😱
Maybe picked later!! #IPLAuction
