New Delhi: If one thought tendonitis was the reason behind Yuvraj Singh missing the all-important Super Eights game against South Africa on Thursday, his father believes it was otherwise.

In an interview to a news channel, Yograj Singh, Yuvraj's father, revealed that Yuvraj has been upset over not being made the captain of the One-Day side, which instead went to Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

"He has something at the back of his mind, he's very aloof. Probably, its the captaincy part," Yograj told the channel on Friday.

"I have this tinge of a feeling that there's something that's hurting him. I don't know whether it's the captaincy, I asked him if he was disappointed that he was not appointed captain, he kept quiet. He said, 'Dad, can we talk something else,'" Yuvraj's father added.

"But, I feel he's got better things to do in life and I know he will lead India one day. I told him, 'your time will come' but he says, 'Dad, everytime you say this.' So, I think that is pulling him down," Yograj said.

Yuvraj pulled out of the South Africa clash minutes before the start of the game after he injured his elbow while batting at the nets.
