After an old feud between former all-rounders Irfan Pathan and MS Dhoni resurfaced, Yuvraj Singh’s father, Yograj Singh, slammed the great captain. After the hookah comment related to Dhoni made news, Yograj unleashed his long-standing criticism of the 2011 World Cup-winning captain, as well as digs at Kapil Dev and Bishan Singh Bedi.
The event occurred following a five-year-old interview with Irfan Pathan that went viral on social media.
In the video, the former bowler recalls speaking with Dhoni during the 2008 Commonwealth Bank series in Australia. While Dhoni reportedly told him that he was doing well, the left-armer hinted at being benched for reasons unconnected to performance. Taking advantage of the situation, Yograj slammed Dhoni, claiming that Pathan’s experience was not unique.
“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
This is not the first time Yograj has slammed Dhoni. Over the years, he has openly spoken about Yuvraj Singh’s exclusion from the national team due to Dhoni’s influence. He further went on to target Indian skippers Kapil Dev and Bishan Singh Bedi, accusing them of mistreating players during their playing days.
“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.
