Stressing that his biggest love remains cricket and his ultimate dream is to take over the captain’s reins, Yuvraj said, “I would love to captain India one day.”

Yuvraj has been the vice captain of the ODI side but lost out on captaining the ODI team, something he attributes to “various other reasons” and not to his party animal image.

“I was performing well at the time when (Rahul) Dravid stepped down. My critics couldn’t say I was not performing,” he said.

The dashing Punjab player has problems with people judging him on what he does off the field and said, “I love to party and I have no problems in saying this...as long as it doesn’t affect my cricket.

“I am going to keep doing what I am doing. I have been playing international cricket for eight years now and that’s not a joke.”

Referring to his brief romance with model-turned-actress Deepika Padukone, Yuvraj said, “If some one wants to move out of a relationship, there isn’t much that the other person can do. She was with me and now she has moved on with another person. I guess it was her personal choice.
