The Outsider Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'm no fan of Yuvraj's captaincy either but the manner in which these "team managements" take over the functioning of the side is pretty arbitrary. Look at the disaster, Buchanan left KKR in. In cricket, a captain should certainly have a greater role to play than the team management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboysfan Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 i think there might have been a player revolt as yuvi was abusing his own players,not good for a captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saneindian Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Has the break up of Preity Zinta with Ness Wadia, the real owner of KXIP, got anything to do with this sacking? Why else would someone appoint Sanga as their captain when under Sanga , SL has recently lost a test series in India and is on it's way to a royal thumping in ODIs.

Sachin_Rulez Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 In a way it's good for Kings XI. Though yuvi did OK as a captain, somehow he doesn't seem to perform as consistent as he should have been for his team with the bat. He performs much better when he's playing for India. So in IPL-3, with no added responsibilities, he can be a nightmare for bowlers. Apart from Gilly, no one can match his brutal hitting. Btw, jaya would have been much better option than sanga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feed Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I haven't been asked to take over as Kings XI captain yet: Sangakkara Kings XI Punjab's announcement of replacing Yuvraj Singh, as captain of the franchise and handing over the leadership to Kumar Sangakkara has been well documented in the past few days.

urbestfriend Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Its official :phehehe: The Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara has replaced Yuvraj Singh as the captain of Kings XI Punjab for this year's IPL. Speculation was rife over the past few weeks in India that Sangakkara was the man to take over the captaincy and Anil Srivatsa, the franchise's chief executive officer, confirmed the news today. "Kumar Sangakkara is the new captain of Kings XI Punjab. We are hoping for good things to come out of it," he told reporters in New Delhi. Under Yuvraj's captaincy in the inaugural IPL in 2008, Punjab had qualified for semi-finals. But in the second edition, held in South Africa last year, they failed to make it to the last four. Yuvraj was Punjab's highest run scorer in 2009 with 340 at 28.33, with two half-centuries, but that was not enough to lift their fortunes. Srivatsa said the move would not take away from Yuvraj's importance as a star player, and that on the contrary the management hoped it would bring forth more runs from the allrounder. "Being taken off the leadership role does not diminish Yuvraj's standing in the team. Yuvraj's inputs are vital for us," he said. "He has done well for the team in the past two seasons and he has one more year with us. He did his job well enough. This has got nothing to do with all this." Sangakkara said he had spoken to Yuvraj immediately after being told about the change of leadership. "I have enjoyed playing under Yuvraj, he is a very able captain. When everything was not concrete, I spoke to him and after that I decided that it was the right time to take up [the] captaincy. "I don't think it would cause any problem. He is a very good friend. I had a long chat with him on this, everything was done very transparently. Moreover, Yuvraj is the most important player in our side. Any IPL team will be lucky to have him. He can change a match just like that. He is a matchwinner." Sangakkara was second to Yuvraj in South Africa with 332 runs at 30.18, with two half-centuries. http://www.cricinfo.com/ipl2010/content/story/444267.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bharat12 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 My favourite player is Yuvraj but I think this may turn into a good thing for the side and Yuvraj, he won't have the pressure of captaining and this way he can concentrate on his own game. The best players don't always make the best captains, because the added responsibility can negate and hinder their game - this way Yuvraj can focus on his role of helping the team succeed as he is our best matchwinner. I do have a lot of respect for Sangakkara, humble words from him there as well - even he acknowledges that Yuvraj is the most important player.
