Yuvraj, sporting the team jersey, then moved on to watch the net session, clapped as Ashish Nehra hit the stumps and then picked up a bat.u00a0Standing on the pitch next to the one where Pune were practising, Yuvraj faced mild throw downs from 10 yards as he tried to get a feel of the ball. After about 10 deliveries, he went into punching mode. Though the the timing occasionally was missing, the elegance was spot-on.u00a0Yuvraj then got a hug from most of his teammates, Sunil Gavaskar, who was near the pitch ahead of the toss, and Deccan Chargers’ skipper Kumar Sangakkara, before leaving the field.

The biggest cheers of the day were reserved for the man from Chandigarh as he slowly walked of the field.u00a0Pune’s fans would certainly hope that the next time Yuvraj walked onto at a cricket field, he’d be wearing the full team gear and instead of waving at them, would be smashing some big sixes into the stands.u00a0
