Switchblade Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2011/content/current/story/504940.html Yuvraj Singh has been named captain of Sahara Pune Warriors for the fourth season of the Indian Premier League. Debuting in the IPL this year, the franchise includes South Africa captain Graeme Smith, hard-hitting New Zealand opener Jesse Ryder and Sri Lanka allrounder Angelo Mathews among others. Yuvraj had captained Kings XI Punjab - and initially was their icon player - in the first two IPL seasons, leading the team to the semi-finals of the first edition. In 2009, Punjab finished fifth in the group stage, after which Yuvraj was replaced at the helm with Kumar Sangakkara. Yuvraj was in poor form in the 2010 IPL, and came in for criticism for his batting and attitude. Yuvraj's appointment as Pune's captain comes soon after his man-of-the-match performance in India's World Cup tie against Ireland on Sunday, in which he picked up five wickets and scored a half-century. The team had previously appointed Geoff Marsh as chief coach, and Dermot Reeve and Praveen Amre as assistant coaches. The set-up also includes India domestic players like Manish Pandey, Abhishek Jhunjhunwala and Mithun Minhas. Pune will take on Punjab in their opening IPL match on April 10 in Mumbai.
Switchblade Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 I thought that it was going to be SMITH:hmmmm2:
gaurav92 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 ^U :fail: then, Yuvi will always be ahead of Smith in IPL :D
achilles Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Yuvi will mix the Punjabi tadka with the marathanchi vrutti.
Switchblade Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 Has a good team though best thing is PARNELL AND HIS CHILDHOOD HERO MAY BOWL IN TANDEM AND HELP THE OPPOSING TEAMS BY BOWLING PIES:haha:
Mariyam Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Yuvi will mix the Punjabi tadka with the marathanchi vrutti. What is the meaning of vrutti? What if Pune the wrong mix: Marathancha tadka and Punjabi vrutti? :P
cowboysfan Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 this is not going to end well,i have already written off this team.
flamy Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Pune will take on Punjab in their opening IPL match on April 10 in Mumbai. :--D:--D
Manny_Pacquiao Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 awful captain. his batting usually sucks in IPL pune are screwed altho it can be argued that success of the franchise isnt exactly connected to success on the pitch
achilles Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 What is the meaning of vrutti? What if Pune the wrong mix: Marathancha tadka and Punjabi vrutti? :P Vrutti means thinking, more like forward thinking, strategizing and having a very well-thought out plan. Trust us Maharashtrians' brains to work fast :two_thumbs_up:
Switchblade Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 Think that if anybody else was appointed as captain his ego would have been hurt though saying that it was between him and Smith so he won but hope that Nehra would bowl the same way as he bowled in the last over yesterday against my team Delhi Daredevils:winky:
