Mumbai: He has been the hero for India in 2011 World Cup but fell off the radar in the run up to the team selection in 2015. While Yuvraj Singh’s father, Yograj, is busy slamming Team India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni for leaving his son out of the World Cup, the all-rounder is busy clicking selfies wearing his new jersey – that of Delhi Daredevils (DD).

— Delhi Daredevils (@DelhiDaredevils) February 18, 2015Yuvraj seems happy not missing the World Cup. Why? The photograph – that he uploaded on his official Facebook page – wearing the DD jersey sporting a Lasith Malinga hairdo is no less than a schoolboy elated with his new birthday gift – a new team in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
In 2014, Yuvraj was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 14 crore.
This time, the IPL auction became hotter as DD splurged Rs 16 crore for the out-of-favour Indian cricketer.
