Player of the series in India’s 2011 World Cup campaign, Yuvraj Singh, never got the chance to captain India. Despite being one of the most senior players when the leadership duties passed post-Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj was sidelined. However, if he had been given a chance, India could have seen one revolutionary skipper in him.

Yuvraj served India as a vice-captain in 2007. His leadership qualities were seen in the IPL, where he captained Kings XI Punjab and Pune Warriors India in 43 matches between 2008-2011, winning 21 and losing as many. The former all-rounder played crucial roles in both of India's World Cup-winning campaigns.
