Yuvraj, bought for Rs 16 crore, has scored 124 runs
in seven innings at an average of 17.71 with just one half century to
his name. The costliest player in the IPL managed 2 runs off 5 balls in
Delhi's demoralising 10-wicket defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore
here on Sunday night.
Duminy feels it is not fair to single out a player in the team's inconsistent run, which has seen them lose four out of their seven games.
"It is easy to criticise him. He has not had great opportunities in the matches we have done well and I think he will be the first to admit that he would have loved to contribute but it is not because of one guy's performance that we are losing. He is a massive player for us and I have all the confidence that he is going to come good for us in the later parts of the tournament," said the South African, who has been in decent touch, scoring 222 runs at an average of 44.
While Yuvraj is yet to fire, another senior player Zaheer Khan is yet to take the field for Daredevils amid rising speculation over the fast bowler's fitness. Duminy said he would be available for the May 1 game against Kings XI Punjab.
