Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh who is always in limelight for some reasons has once again made headlines. If you think that it’s for his amazing role in the movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag in which he played the character of Farhan Akhtar’s coach, you are utterly wrong! Well, let’s tell you that this time also, it’s just for slamming none other than Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the skipper of Indian cricket team.
On Saturday, Yograj Singh had an interview with Mid-Day in which he condemned Dhoni and again the reason was treating Yuvi unfairly. An angry father said, “After not playing international cricket for two years and then making a comeback is fantastic — hats off to him. The captain expects him to perform and then suddenly drops him to No 7. What the f**k is happening? What is the captain trying to prove?”
“When shuffling happens too often, questions arise in the mind (of the player) and that this is not cricket. A player wonders whether he is needed or not. The captain has to be very careful in what he is dealing with,” he added.
He continued, “I have told my son not to worry because his time will come and that is just around the corner. Let me see MS Dhoni being dropped for two years or anybody else getting dropped and making a comeback to the Indian team and whether they score a single run.”
Yograj questioned Dhoni’s decision of not making Yuvi bowl in the World T20 matches in spite of the fact that these matches are being played on Indian wickets which are quite helpful for spinners.
A furious Yograj further stated, “If he (Dhoni) does not like him, he should bloody well tell the selectors about it. If he has got anything personal with him, he can take it out, but by doing this, you are destroying the team. Imagine Yuvraj not bowling on such turning wickets where he has claimed 15 wickets in the 2011 World Cup. The world is watching this.”
He was also upset with Yuvi not getting chance to bowl even in the two warm-up matches that were played before the World T20, keeping in mind that in Asia Cup, Yuvraj bowled.
Yograj verbally attacked Dhoni when his son hadn’t been selected for the World Cup 2015. This is what he said, “Dhoni is arrogant. The way Ravana’s proud came to an end, Dhoni will also suffer some day. He considers himself much above Ravana.”
He added, “I feel really ashamed when other cricketers come and tell me about Dhoni. Earlier, I used to think that people must be cribbing about Dhoni due to jealousy. But when the cricketers told me about him, I think I have never seen a terrible person like him ever in my life.”
