Kim Sharma and Yuvraj seem to be rekindling their love

Will the in-form Kings XI skipper manage to bowl over with his swaggering charm his coveted maiden, yet again?

Of late, the ex-flames have constantly been in touch with each other via SMSes and phone calls.

It is reliably learnt that the actress has now flown to South Africa to spend time with the Kings XI Punjab skipper.SMS, calls start it

Says a source close to Yuvi, "He is keen to have Kim back in his life. He feels she is the right person for him. As a result, he first took the initiative to get in touch with her again by sending her a text message over a month back. Though the actress was first apprehensive, she gradually realised Singh's deep concern for her and it took her a while to reply."

Come on over

As they got talking again, the all-rounder extended her an invitation to visit South Africa to catch up with the Indian Premier League matches. He was also keen that she be present for Cricket Beyond Boundaries a charity event he hosted in Cape Town last night. It was a fundraiser for orphans and other causes. Apart from his Punjab XI team which includes co-owner Preity Zinta other IPL players were also expected to attend.

Yuvi and Kim were a couple about four years ago. Though they were serious about each other then and there was also talk of marriage, buzz was that Yuvi's mother Shabnam did not approve of having an actress bahu. For a while, they kept the relationship alive, until Kim finally called it quits. Buzz is that the cricketer pursued her even after they broke off with SMSes, to which she paid no heed.

Yuvraj was briefly linked with Deepika Padukone last year while Kim was often spotted in the company of Israeli diplomat, Oren Gahaly. There have also been rumours of Yuvi being close to Preity Zinta, co-owner, Kings XI Punjab.

Making it work

Adds the source, "Yuvi could never outgrow Kim. He has always admitted that she made him aware of the hows and whys of B-Town and the party circuit. He's tried to woo her back several times in the last few months, but she kept away. This is his effort to make things work out between them yet again."

Adds the source, "Yuvraj's mother has also given the green signal to her son renewing his relationship with Kim. She is keen that her son settle down now. Yuvi is hoping Kim and he spend time together and hopefully, that the sparks fly again.
