Indian hard-hitting southpaw Yuvraj Singh is not a part of IPL side Delhi Daredevils anymore, it was announced on the New Year's Eve.
The eight franchises playing in the upcoming edition of the IPL had the option of retaining some of their players until today evening, and the Delhi side has decided not to retain the 34-year-old.
It was only this year that Yuvraj was bought by the Daredevils for a whopping Rs 16 crore.
Even former England international Kevin Pietersen, South African star bowler Dale Steyn and lanky Indian fast-medium bowler Ishant Sharma find themselves out of the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad.
Meanwhile, it was announced earlier in the day that Kedar Jadhav had been roped in by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first IPL 2016 trading window of the season. Jadhav is a hard-hitting middle-order batsman, and is best known for his knock of 105 not out off 87 balls for India in their ODI tour of Zimbabwe in Harare in July 2015.
