New Delhi, April 02: An agitated Yuvraj Singh today hit back at speculation that he was deliberately underperforming in the Indian Premier League after being stripped of Kings XI Punjab’s captaincy, saying he was disgusted and horrified by the reports.
“I am disgusted and horrified that a news reporter can scoop down to such a level. I, in all my career, haven’t seen such a disgusting piece of news,” the flamboyant batsman said on his Twitter page, reacting to reports that his poor run in the IPL was deliberate as he was upset at being replaced as captain of the side by Kumar Sangakkara.
Yuvraj has totalled a little over 100 runs in seven IPL games so far and there were reports today suggesting that he wanted to shift to another team — speculated to be Mumbai Indians — ahead of the current season.
