Yuvraj Singh has been involved in several match-winning moments for Team India, but the left-handed batsman, who boasts of an illustrious career on the pitch, never got to lead the unit. In a recent episode of '22 Yarns' podcast with Gaurav Kapur, the former India cricketer went on to share many tales from his cricketing days. During the chat, Yuvraj also went on to mention, how he expected to wear the captain's arm-band ahead of MS Dhoni, with senior players Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly already out of the equation. "So, basically, India had lost the 50-over World Cup, right? I mean there was quite a turmoil in Indian cricket and then there was a two-month tour of England and there was also a month tour in between with South Africa and Ireland. And then there was a month of T20 World Cup so there were like four months away from home. So probably the seniors thought that they need a break and obviously, nobody took the T20 World Cup seriously. I was expecting to captain India in the T20 World Cup and then it was announced MS Dhoni will be the captain," the 39-year-old said.More Related News
