IPL: Pune Warriors never believed Yuvraj was captaincy material, says Sourav Ganguly

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Tuesday revealed that Pune Warriors management never thought that Yuvraj Singh is a "captaincy material" after the team's debacle in the 2011 IPL when they finished last.

Ganguly feels that's the reason why Angelo Mathews and Ross Taylor have been preferred as captains ahead of the senior left-hander.

"The management had decided not to make Yuvraj captain again after our first season (in 2011 where the team finished last). They thought he (Yuvraj) was not a captaincy material -- not the one who could lead the side. It was a decision that was taken after our first season (2011)," Ganguly told a regional TV channel.
