The cricketer was sold at his base price rupees 1 crore. After he was picked by Mumbai Indians, he took Twitter to express his delight. "I am glad to be part of the @mipaltan family, looking forward for the season to begin. See u soon @ImRo45," Yuvraj tweeted.
Fans were excited with Yuvraj's inclusion as well. He will be playing for MI first time. As soon as Mumbai bid for Yuvraj, Twitter went crazy and he started trending on social media.
"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," franchise owner Akash Ambani said after the auction.
