Indian cricket superstar MS Dhoni is once again in the headlines, but this time the reason is not any great record or six, but an old controversy which has now become fresh.
An old interview of Irfan Pathan is going viral on social media, in which he made some sharp allegations against Dhoni.
After this, Yograj Singh also targeted Dhoni and labelled him a “guilty silence”.
What is the whole matter?
Irfan Pathan had questioned Dhoni’s captaincy in an old interview.
He said, “Yes, I asked him. During the 2008 Australia series, Mahi Bhai’s statement came in the media that Irfan was not bowling well. I felt that I had bowled well throughout the series, so I went and asked Mahi Bhai. I do not have the habit of smoking hookah in someone’s room or talking about it. Everyone knows.”
Irfan was hinting that Dhoni only liked those players who agreed with him. This matter has come into discussion again, and there is uproar among the fans.
Yograj Singh’s anger
Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh attacked Dhoni sharply.
He said, “It is not just about Irfan Pathan. You see Gautam Gambhir speaking about this. Virender Sehwag also spoke openly about this. Harbhajan Singh told how he was thrown out of the team like a fly. You should make a jury as to why he did this. MS Dhoni does not want to answer. The one who does not want to answer, his conscience is guilty.”
Yograj accused Dhoni as well as Kapil Dev and Bishan Singh Bedi of ruining the careers of the players.
Dhoni’s silence
Dhoni has not said a single word in this entire controversy. Yograj termed his silence as “guilty silence”.
On the other hand, Irfan clarified by tweeting, “Half a decade old video is now coming out with a distorted context. Fan war? PR lobby?”
But the question is, will Dhoni win this time too with his silence, or will he end the controversy by responding?
