Veteran batsman Yuvraj Singh's Mumbai Indians debut started on a classy note as he stroked his way to a sublime half-century against Delhi Capitals in their first Indian Premier League season 12 match at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

Yuvraj Singh scored 52 off just 33 balls with five fours and three sixes, with a strike rate of 157.58, in a match that was dominated by Rishabh Pant's and Colin Ingram's blitzkreigs.

Yuvraj had scored a 50 last in 2017 — unbeaten 70 for Sunrisers Hyderabad, against Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals).

The last time Yuvraj Singh made an #IPL fifty - 70* also vs DD (now DC) for SRH at Feroz Shah Kotla on 2 May 2017. Since then
