The left-handed Yuvraj Singh was a successful all-rounder for the Indian cricket team. His playing in the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup helped India win both championships.

Yuvraj Singh made his international debut in 2000 when Sourav Ganguly was the captain. He later played for India in all formats of the game.

Yuvraj Singh played 402 international matches, scoring 11,778 runs with 17 centuries and 71 half-centuries. He also took 148 wickets during his career.

Yuvraj Singh played under the leadership of Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli. During his chat on Club Prairie Fire, he shared who his favorite India captain is.

“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.

“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.
