Yograj Singh, former cricketer and father of Yuvraj Singh, made a startling disclosure about an incident involving cricket legend Kapil Dev. In a recent interview, Yograj revealed that he once went to Kapil Dev’s house with a gun, driven by anger over a personal grievance. He confronted Kapil and accused him of being responsible for a significant loss in his life.
Yograj reportedly said to Kapil, “Because of you, I lost a friend, and you will have to pay the price for what you did.” However, he refrained from taking any drastic action, attributing his restraint to Kapil’s mother, who stood nearby. “I want to shoot you in the head, but I’m not doing it because you have a mother who believes in God,” Yograj admitted.
Allegations Against Kapil Dev and Bishan Singh Bedi
Yograj Singh didn’t hold back in his criticism, also accusing Kapil Dev and Bishan Singh Bedi of playing a role in ending his cricketing career. He claimed that politics within the cricketing fraternity and favouritism led to his exclusion from the national team. Yograj specifically mentioned that he was removed from the team because of Sunil Gavaskar’s influence. The bitterness from these incidents has stayed with him, reflecting his discontent over missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential during his cricketing days.
Praise for Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Despite his grievances with past cricketers, Yograj Singh expressed admiration for former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He described Dhoni as a fearless player who brought a new dynamic to Indian cricket. According to Yograj, Dhoni’s fearless approach on the field exemplified what a true leader should be, and he lauded the impact Dhoni had on Indian cricket during his tenure. While Yograj’s revelations highlight personal and professional struggles, they also underscore his respect for modern cricketing legends like Dhoni.
