Sports News: Yograj Singh has reignited an old storm in Indian cricket, claiming that MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and others tried to push Yuvraj down. According to him, the team was full of insecurities, with players scared of losing their positions. He alleged that Yuvraj’s extraordinary talent created jealousy among teammates, who feared his rise. Yograj insisted his son faced betrayal rather than support from seniors.
Sachin Alone Backed Yuvraj
Yograj declared that among the many stars in Indian cricket, only Sachin Tendulkar stood as a true friend to Yuvraj. He said Tendulkar always supported and guided his son, while others distanced themselves. According to him, Tendulkar recognized Yuvraj’s gift and stood by him through tough times. For Yograj, Sachin remains the only genuine well-wisher in cricket for Yuvraj Singh.
Claims Of Forced Retirement
This isn’t the first time Yograj has voiced anger against Yuvraj’s former teammates. He has repeatedly argued that his son was forced into early retirement. According to him, Yuvraj had the potential to play longer but was sidelined due to internal politics. Yograj believes his son’s contributions were undervalued despite his unmatched performances.
Yuvraj’s Celebrated Career Journey
Despite the controversies, Yuvraj Singh enjoyed a legendary career between 2000 and 2017. He represented India in 402 matches across formats and scored more than 11,000 international runs. With 17 centuries and 71 half-centuries, he became one of India’s most stylish and dependable batsmen. His aggressive stroke play and match-winning ability made him a fan favorite worldwide.
World Cup Heroics Remembered Forever
The highlight of Yuvraj’s career came during the 2011 ICC World Cup. He scored 362 runs and took 15 wickets in nine matches, becoming the Player of the Tournament. His century and four half-centuries, combined with all-round brilliance, carried India to glory. Even today, fans remember his emotional celebrations after India’s victory.
Historic Six Sixes In T20
Another unforgettable moment in Yuvraj’s journey was his six sixes in one over against England’s Stuart Broad during the 2007 T20 World Cup. This made him the first Indian to achieve such a feat in international cricket. That innings cemented his place as one of the most fearless batsmen of the modern era.
Legacy Beyond Controversies
While Yograj’s words continue to spark debates, Yuvraj Singh’s career speaks for itself. He remains a symbol of courage, having also fought and survived cancer before returning to cricket. His achievements continue to inspire millions across the world. The ongoing disputes cannot erase the golden chapters Yuvraj wrote for Indian cricket.
