Kumar Sangakkara has replaced Yuvraj Singh as the captain of the IPL team, the Kings Eleven Punjab. The decision has been reportedly conveyed to Yuvraj Singh today by the CEO of the franchisee, Anil Srivatsa. This was rumored for the past two weeks but now official confirmation has come.Yuvraj Singh led the team in the first two seasons of the IPL, reaching the semi-final in the first season and finishing 5th in the second season. Earlier reports had suggested that Yuvraj was being replaced because of his attitude problem, as Tom Moody said he continually ignored the team management’s advice and not because of the performance of the team.Kings X1 Punjab Coach Tom Moody was unhappy with Yuvraj Singh and wanted Kumar Sangakkara to be the captain. Anil Srivatsa, CEO of Kings X1 Punjab has said it officially now that Kumar Sangakkara will lead Kings X1 Punjab from the 3rd Season of IPL starting from March 11.
Kumar Sangakkara is now the captain of the Sri Lankan National Team as well.
Any way, the Hard hitting South Paw will have to perform more than what he has done in IPL so far, not in bowling but with batting.
