Yuvraj Singh started his IPL career with Kings XI Punjab (now rebranded as Punjab Kings). The Indian allrounder was the icon player and captain of the team. He captained them in 2009 and 2010. The icon player status was removed from 2010 IPL season onwards. In 2010 Kings XI Punjab decided to hand the captaincy to Kumar Sangakkara. Yuvraj played for three seasons for Kings XI Punjab before leaving in 2011. In 2018 Kings XI Punjab bought Yuvraj Singh back to his original IPL franchise. He spent one season with them before leaving.

Pune Warriors India (PWI) was a new franchise introduced for the 2011 Indian Premier League. They bought Yuvraj Singh and appointed him as the team captain. He had a good season for them, but his individual performances could not stop Pune Warriors India from finishing 2nd to last.

Yuvraj Singh was diagnosed with cancer in 2011. He went through a series of chemotherapy rounds and was unable to participate in the 2012 edition of the Indian Premier League. He was discharged in March 2012 and was ready to make his comeback. Yuvraj made his return in IPL with the Pune Warriors India. He played for them in the 2013 IPL season. Unfortunately, Pune Warriors India was dissolved in 2013 which meant Yuvraj Singh needed a new team.

After Pune Warriors India was dissolved in 2013, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) decided to sign Yuvraj in for the 2014 IPL season. Singh had his best IPL season with them. He scored 376 runs in 14 matches at an average of 34.18. He scored three fifties and had a high score of 83. Although he had a fantastic season with them, RCB were unable to buy him back in the 2015 season.

After his performance in IPL 2014, Delhi Daredevils (DD) went all in to sign Yuvraj Singh. They bought him for a whopping ₹16 Crore, which made him the costliest player in IPL history at that time. The allrounder had a decent season for Delhi Daredevils but was unable to replicate the form he had found with Royal Challengers Bangalore. Delhi decided to not continue with such an expensive buy after a very average first season and allowed Yuvraj Singh to leave after just one season.

Yuvraj Singh joined Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in 2017 for a fee of ₹7 Crore. He turned out to be an extremely important purchase for the team.

He continued with them in the 2017 IPL season. Yuvraj Singh helped SRH qualify for the knockout stages once again, but they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in the semi-final.
