Yuvraj Singh guided SRH to a comprehensive 35-run victory against RCB on Wednesday evening, blasting the ball to all corners in typical style.
The 35-year-old helped his team post a mammoth total of 207 with a record-breaking half-century off just 23 deliveries.
He finished up with 62 (off just 27 balls) before being bowled by Tymal Mills.
It wasn’t just his batting that caught the eye but his fancy new haircut, too.
Overall, an emphatic fifty and a man of the match award was the perfect way for Yuvraj to kick off his IPL campaign.

Ten years after he made us fall in love with T20 cricket, @YUVSTRONG12 shows us he's still got it. 62 (27). SR 230. Take a bow, sir! #IPL

Add Fizz to this #SRH line-up and they become the team capable of defending the title. Most bases covered. Dhawan-Yuvi firing a huge + 😊
