They selected Yuvraj Singh in their line-up and one gets the sense that he could end up getting the role of captain as well. The onlyplayer who can give Yuvraj some competition is Graeme Smith but judging by the mood of most teams, it is difficult to see how a non-Indian will lead the Sahara Pune Warriors side. There is a good chance that Yuvraj will be awarded the captaincy.
