Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has publicly apologised to cricket legends MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev for the controversial remarks made by his father, Yograj Singh.
In a teaser for an upcoming SportsTak podcast, Yuvraj expressed regret over his father’s statements and clearly distanced himself from them.
Yuvraj’s Statement
Yuvraj said he does not agree with the tone and language used by his father. He mentioned that he had already told Yograj Singh that such comments were “not okay”. This is one of the rare occasions when Yuvraj has directly addressed the long-standing controversy.
Background of the Issue
Yograj Singh, a former fast bowler and coach, has in the past made strong critical comments against both Dhoni and Kapil Dev. These remarks had drawn significant backlash from fans and the cricket fraternity.
Yuvraj’s Legacy
Yuvraj Singh remains one of India’s most respected cricketers, known for his match-winning performances in the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup. By issuing this apology, he has clearly separated his own views from those of his father and reinforced his image as a gracious figure in Indian cricket.
The full podcast episode is expected to provide more insights into Yuvraj’s thoughts on the matter.
