Yograj Singh Criticizes MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev Again

Yograj Singh, the father of former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh, has publicly criticized MS Dhoni, blaming him for the premature end of Yuvraj's international career. Yograj expressed his grievances during an interview on Zee Switch’s YouTube channel, stating that Dhoni's captaincy led to Yuvraj's exclusion from the Indian squad, which ultimately resulted in his retirement from all forms of cricket in 2019. He believes that Yuvraj could have played for several more years if not for Dhoni's decisions. Yograj's comments have sparked significant backlash on social media, with many netizens trolling him for his remarks against Dhoni and former captain Kapil Dev. Despite his father's criticisms, Yuvraj maintains a positive relationship with Dhoni, highlighting their successful partnerships in ODI cricket, where they scored over 3,100 runs together. Yograj also called for the Indian government to award his son the Bharat Ratna, emphasizing Yuvraj's contributions to Indian cricket, including his role in winning two World Cups in 2007 and 2011. He argued that Yuvraj's battle with cancer and his achievements on the field deserve national recognition. This ongoing feud between Yograj and Dhoni raises questions about the dynamics within Indian cricket and the impact of leadership decisions on players' careers. While Yograj's sentiments reflect a father's protective instincts, they also highlight the complexities of team dynamics and the pressures faced by athletes in high-stakes environments.
