Yograj continues his feud with Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Yograj’s attack on Dhoni, who led India to the 2011 World Cup title, has been going on for years. In the previous interview, he accused Dhoni of “ruining” Yuvraj’s career and vowed to never forgive him. Singh’s constant criticism of Dhoni has raised concerns about his motives and the impact his words may have on the young cricketer.

“I will never forgive MS Dhoni. He should look at his face in the mirror. He is a great cricketer, but what he did to my son, everything is coming out now; it will never be forgiven in life. I have never done two things in life – firstly, I have never forgiven anyone who has done me wrong, secondly, I have never hugged them in my life, be it my family members or my children,” he said.

Yuvraj Singh’s Bharat Ratna demand

In one of his most controversial statements, Yograj demanded that the Indian government award his son, Yuvraj, the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest honour. Singh pointed out that Yuvraj’s achievements, including playing with cancer and winning the World Cup, make him unworthy of this prestigious award.

Yograj adds: “That man (MS Dhoni) ruined the life of my son, who could have played for four to five more years. I hope everyone gives birth to a son like Yuvraj. Even Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag have said earlier that there will never be another Yuvraj Singh. India should give him Bharat Ratna for playing with cancer and winning the World Cup for the country.”

Cricket fans criticize Yograj’s coaching of Arjun Tendulkar

Amid the controversy surrounding his comments, it emerged that Yograj was contacted by him Sachin Tendulkar to train his son Arjun. While some fans have expressed their support for the partnership, others have expressed concern over Yograj’s negative influence on the young cricketer. Many netizens took to social media to urge Arjun to distance himself from Yograj, citing his toxic behavior and abusive remarks.

His behavior is a stark reminder of the toxic culture that can sometimes permeate the world of sports. Yograj’s constant attacks on his teammates and opponents are not only disrespectful but also harmful to the image of Indian cricket. It is important that such people are called to account for their actions and their words. As Singh continues to make headlines for his controversial statements, it remains to be seen how the Indian cricket community will respond to his actions.

Yograj, don’t waste his life. Arjun… look for a new coach
