Yuvraj Singh Reveals His All-Time Favourite India Captain

Yuvraj Singh was also asked to choose 'outstanding captain' between Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni.

Yuvraj Singh, one of India's greatest cricketers and instrumental in two World Cup triumphs, went on to represent the nation across formats. In his conversation on Club Prairie Fire, the legendary Indian all-rounder revealed his favourite India captain.

"It has to be Sourav Ganguly, as I made my debut when he was the captain and backed me. I was new to the team and Ganguly gave me a lot of chances. Bhajji (Harbhajan Singh), Virender Sehwag and Zaheer (Khan) were the other cricketers who got Sourav's support. He knew we would become match-winners if proper guidance is given," he said.

"Sourav Ganguly was aggressive in his approach, while Dhoni was cool and calm. Dhoni was a good captain as well, and he always had Plan B if Plan A failed. Dravid was there for a short duration. Anil Kumble captained us in Australia, and he used to lead from the front," he added.

Yuvraj Singh was also asked to choose 'outstanding captain' between Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni.

The legendary all-rounder gave a clear and interesting answer, stating that if he had to select a captain for the T20 format, he would go with Rohit Sharma.

"Probably I'd go for Rohit Sharma if it's T20 cricket. As a player, I'd go for Rohit, because he's an outstanding captain and can change the game with his batting, for sure, Rohit Sharma would be the first choice," said the legendary Indian all-rounder.

After his stellar performance in ODI World Cup, Rohit Sharma carried his explosive form into T20 World Cup. Indian cricket fans will never forget his match-winning knock of 92 runs off 41 balls in the Super 8 match against Australia. It's this ability to turn games around that led Yuvraj Singh to choose Rohit as his top pick for the T20 format.
