Kings XI Punjab skipper Yuvraj Singh was in a relaxed mood after his side's six-wicket victory over Delhi on Thursday but that did not stop him from confessing that captaincy has brought the worst out of him as he gets angry easily when his side is not doing well.

"Actually it is (Captaincy) getting worst out of me. I am getting very angry on the field, I don't know why," Yuvraj said after his side beat Delhi Daredevils by six wickets to keep their semi-final hopes alive. "But hopefully, as long as we are winning matches, it doesn't matter what it brings out of the captain, so I am happy," The skipper who will lock horns with Adam Gilchrist's Deccan Chargers on Sunday, added.


Yuvraj, though, could not hide his glee when mentioned about the super form of fit-again Australian Brett Lee whose match-winning 3 for 15 set up the match for Kings XI against Delhi. "Lee made a (big difference). Since he came in, we have got better in the bowling department. He obviously brings in a lot of pace and enthusiasm.

He has been helping Irfan Pathan and Sreesanth out too, that's very important. I am glad he is here," the left-hander said. Having praised Lee, Yuvraj credited the victory against Delhi to team effort. "We had lost three early wickets and needed one partnership. I took my time, Sanga (Kumar Sangakkara) took his time. And we took up the challenge. We had to play some big shots in the end. Thankfully Irfan (Pathan) came in and got those runs."
