NEW DELHI: Former Indian cricketer Yograj Singh, father of Yuvraj Singh, has once again criticized MS Dhoni, accusing him of negatively impacting his son's cricket career. Yograj's comments highlight a longstanding grievance which he believes curtailed Yuvraj’s career, despite his monumental contributions to Indian cricket, particularly in the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup victories under Dhoni’s captaincy.
Yuvraj Singh's cricket career spanned 17 years, marked by significant achievements including key roles in India's 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup triumphs. However, following 2014, his appearances for the national team diminished, with his last international match being in 2017 against the West Indies. Yograj Singh attributes this decline to Dhoni’s influence on the team’s selection decisions.
