Yograj Singh, the former cricketer and father of Yuvraj Singh, often goes viral on social media for his bold statements. Recently his remarks about Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni gained significant attention.
“I won’t forgive MS Dhoni. He should look at his face in the mirror. He is a very big cricketer, but what he has done against my son, everything is coming out now; it can never be forgiven in life,” Yograj stated during an interview on the Switch YouTube channel.
Yuvraj and Dhoni were teammates for over a decade representing India, with Yuvraj even serving as vice-captain under Dhoni at one point.
However, there has been ongoing tension regarding Dhoni receiving the captaincy after Rahul Dravid in 2007, despite Yuvraj’s earlier position as vice-captain. In the same interview, the anchor asked Yograj about Arjun Tendulkar, Sachin Tendulkar’s son, who trained under him.
Yograj shared his thoughts, saying, “Have you seen diamond in a coal mine? Woh Koyla hi hai..nikalo patthar hi hai, kisi tarashgir ke haath me dalo to chamak ke duniya ko kohinoor ban jata hai.”
He elaborated, “It is coal that is rock when taken out from a mine, but if it is given in proper hands, it goes on to become Kohinoor. It is priceless. But if that same diamond reaches a person who does not know its worth, he destroys it. I don’t say it myself that Yograj Singh is a great crafter; Yuvraj Singh says it, ‘there is magic in my dad’s hand, he made me what I am.’”
That interview in which he made many bold statements is now going viral. He also shared his a few things about his personal life. He told that earlier he was abused ‘Hitler, Dragon Singh’ and everybody hated him in his home including Yuvraj Singh.
