Was Expecting To Captain India In 2007 T20 World Cup But Dhoni's Name Was Announced: Yuvraj Singh

By Sahil Mathur June 10, 2021 • 17:26 PM View: 2105

Yuvraj Singh has been one of India's finest all-rounders in white-ball cricket. He is one of the major reasons why India ended up winning two World Cups - 2007 T20 & 2011 ODI. However, despite being a proven match-winner, Yuvraj never got to captain the Indian team even once.

In a chat with Gaurav Kapur' on the '22 Yarns' podcast, Yuvraj Singh revealed that after a long season of cricket in 2007 which included the ODI World Cup, most of the senior players weren't interested in playing the inaugural T20 World Cup. This situation made Yuvraj hopeful of getting the India captaincy for the upcoming tournament.
