Yuvraj Singh’s father, Yograj Singh, blasted the famous captain after an old dispute involving former all-rounder Irfan Pathan and MS Dhoni recently came to light again. Yograj presented his long-standing criticism of the 2011 World Cup-winning captain, along with jabs at Kapil Dev and Bishan Singh Bedi, after the hookah comment associated with Dhoni made news.
The event happened after a Irfan Pathan interview from when he was five years old became popular on social media. The old bowler recollected a chat with Dhoni during the 2008 Commonwealth Bank series in Australia in the video. The left-armer alluded to being sidelined for non-performance-related reasons, even though Dhoni allegedly reassured him he was doing well. Yograj took the opportunity to attack Dhoni, claiming that Pathan’s experience was not the only one of its kind.
“It is not only about Irfan Pathan. You see Gautam Gambhir speaking about it. Virender Sehwag openly said it as well. Harbhajan Singh spoke about how he was put out of the team like a fly. You should arrange a jury on why he did what he did. MS Dhoni doesn’t want to answer. One who doesn’t want to answer has a guilty conscience,” Yograj said while speaking to InsideSport.
“Jo galat hai wo galat hai” – Yograj Singh’s blunt take
Yograj’s criticism of MS Dhoni is not new to him. He has publicly discussed Yuvraj Singh’s exclusion from the national squad as a result of Dhoni’s influence throughout the years. He continued by accusing Indian captains Kapil Dev and Bishan Singh Bedi of mistreating players when they were on the field.
“I talk about Bishan Singh Bedi, Kapil Dev, MS Dhoni. I can talk about people whom I have been with. They have treated people like s***. Jo galat hai wo galat hai. Two wrongs cannot make one right. I say this openly, that our cricketers and team were destroyed by our captain,” Yograj added.
