[h4]'Yuvraj unhappy about captaincy'[/h4] Cricketnext.com | Posted Sep 21, 2007 at 22:30 New Delhi: If one thought tendonitis was the reason behind Yuvraj Singh missing the all-important Super Eights game against South Africa on Thursday, his father believes it was otherwise. In an interview to a news channel, Yograj Singh, Yuvraj's father, revealed that Yuvraj has been upset over not being made the captain of the One-Day side, which instead went to Mahendra Singh Dhoni. "He has something at the back of his mind, he's very aloof. Probably, its the captaincy part," Yograj told the channel on Friday. "I have this tinge of a feeling that there's something that's hurting him. I don't know whether it's the captaincy, I asked him if he was disappointed that he was not appointed captain, he kept quiet. He said, 'Dad, can we talk something else,'" Yuvraj's father added. "But, I feel he's got better things to do in life and I know he will lead India one day. I told him, 'your time will come' but he says, 'Dad, everytime you say this.' So, I think that is pulling him down," Yograj said. Yuvraj pulled out of the South Africa clash minutes before the start of the game after he injured his elbow while batting at the nets. http://www.cricketnext.com/news/yuvraj-unhappy-about-captaincy/27060-13.html

Why only in India all this CRAPPY speculation. He was hurt, end of discussion. I'm 100% sure for every young player - country is above everything else. Stupid FACKING cricketnext.com

His father is sanki no doubt.. goes on and on but I like his sanaki shayari......I don't know what one can do extra as a captian other than getting burdened.. Your time is right there yuvraj and your job is batting . Make sure you pass with flying colors there

CN seems to come up with articles that smell of conspiracy theories and find camps within Indian team. For a media company that has been around for years it is hilarious how CN has little or no credibility, it is almost like Times of India of cricket news really....totall bull

[Mandrake]

shameless publicity by Yograj Singh.....spilling the details of a personal phone call with his son to the press....how desperate is that!

[Mr. Wicket]

cricketnext is just a tabloid site that bears no merit. The fact that Sanjay Jha is editor should say enough.

[DesiChap]

Sanjay Jackass it is slimy ratass

[dial_100]

Oh Sanjay Jha... Who is this ?? I heard this name on some cricket forums...

[Guest Hiten.]

what a ****in fag that Sanjay chap is.... rot in hell ***** Team India is trying to get back their winning ways and this fag is trying to start a rift now...

If OP is to believed, nothing wrong in admitting that you are disappointed in losing captaincy although feigning injury sucks. Good on Yuvi not to sugar coat and being brutally frank. The jealous colonel and his stooges have given him the raw deal in ODI . He should have been made the captain. Just because he happens to have night life and others don't should not be used against him.

i am so glad this guy wasn't made the captian. there is this sense arrogance with him. on the other hand dhoni seems more down to earth.

DR mode on - Dhoni - Middle class Yuvi - Rich :D

actually DR loves this "humble" lowly middle class fellow. i guess that tag only applies to one former captain.:giggle:

[kumble_rocks]

Seriously they , Imran Khan was also arrogant or perceived to be one and look how will Pakistan did under his stewardship. The fact of the matter is , he was in line to be the next captain in ODI and was overlooked simply because of his extra curricular activities which apparently has not hindered his game. So , I guess it's none of anyones business what he does in private life as long as he performs on the cricket field.

[fineleg]

Yograj Singh is nuts! and ofcourse Sanjay J(h)a-ckass

[Guest dada_rocks]

DR mode on - Dhoni - Middle class Yuvi - Rich :D

Since when Yuvi became rich, he too was middle class bloke.. Middle class indian over all suck in leadership position. PS: There may be exception to the tule for instance Sehwag who is total bindaas . PPs: I am one of those guys too:giggle:

[theguyinallblue]

if Yuvi can give his 100 % for his captain and his team..then we should not really bother .. even warne wanted to be captain of australia... but i do feel that there would be a gang of Yuvi+Bhajji+Zaheer... sehwag will be out of this axis..as he is a tem man... but i have my doubts on yuvi and zaheer..not much on bhajji though

[kumble_rocks]

Flintoff incident I can understand , because alcohol was involved and you don't drink to be stoned immaculately the night before a match. As regards to Colly's incident, alcohol was not involved although sleep deprivation could be a factor here. But in the case of Yuvi , no such incidents have been reported during active matches. And unlike Akhtar , he is not deemed a trouble maker in the dressing room. So the question still begs , can we penalize a guy for having a nightlife or being perceived to be arrogant ?
