Yograj Singh, father of former Team India cricketer Yuvraj Singh, has once again given a controversial statement. He is angry at former Indian captain Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni.
Yograj, who played one Test and 6 ODIs, told YouTube channel Zee Switch – ‘I will never forgive Dhoni in my life.’ His comment has been posted on social media. Yograj said for Kapil Dev- ‘He removed me from the team in 1981, I told him that I will leave after doing well, the world will spit on you.’
Yograj said, ‘I will not forgive MS Dhoni. They should see their face in the mirror. He is a great cricketer, but what he has done against my son is coming to light. They can never be forgiven in life. I have never done two things in life, first, I have never forgiven anyone who has done wrong to me and second, I have never embraced them in my life, whether they are my family members or my children. ‘
This picture is from December 2009, when Dhoni and Yuvraj had made a partnership of 80 runs against Sri Lanka.
Yuvraj has 13 trophies and you have only one World Cup – Yograj
Yograj Singh also spoke on 1983 World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev in the same interview. He claimed that his relationship with Kapil Dev has been strained ever since he was dropped from the Indian team in 1981. Yograj believes that Kapil had dropped him from the team considering him as his rival.
Yograj Singh said, ‘I want to show people in life what Yograj is, which you have brought down. Today the whole world is at my feet, saluting me and those people who had done very bad things…some have cancer, some have lost their homes and some don’t have a son at home. You understand who I am talking about… He is your greatest captain of all time Mr. Kapil Dev, I had told him that I will leave after doing that and the world will spit on you. Today Yuvraj Singh has 13 trophies and you have only one, the World Cup.
Yograj Singh said that Kapil Dev had dropped him from the team in 1981.
Yograj has been angry at Dhoni many times before
This is not the first time that Yograj has targeted Dhoni. Earlier this year, the 66-year-old former cricketer had claimed that Chennai Super Kings lost IPL-2024 due to Dhoni’s misdeeds. He also accused Dhoni of being jealous of Yuvraj.
Yograj had said- ‘CSK lost IPL 2024. Why did they lose? Whatever you sow, you will reap. Yuvraj Singh is the ambassador of ICC, salute to him! Arrogant Dhoni, where is he? He didn’t even shake hands with Yuvraj and that’s why CSK failed this year.
Dhoni can play IPL as an uncapped player
Dhoni had announced his retirement from international cricket in August 2020. It is not clear yet whether 43-year-old wicketkeeper batsman Dhoni will play with Chennai Super Kings or not. It was revealed in some media reports that CSK is trying to convince BCCI to field him as an uncapped player.
