Yuvraj Singh Apologizes to MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev; Also Speaks Candidly About His Father Yograj's Statements

Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has apologized for the comments his father, Yograj Singh, has periodically made regarding former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the captain of the 1983 World Cup-winning team, Kapil Dev.

This marks the first time Yuvraj Singh has openly addressed his father's statements. Yuvraj's father, Yograj Singh, has long alleged that Dhoni was responsible for ousting Yuvraj from the team. Yograj has also been quite vocal regarding Kapil Dev's role during his own playing career. However, Yuvraj himself had never previously commented on these matters.

Yuvraj Singh Apologizes to Dhoni and Kapil Dev

In a podcast, Yuvraj Singh is seen stating, "I would like to apologize to Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni." He also mentioned that he had told his father (Yograj) that such rhetoric was inappropriate. In this same podcast, Yuvraj Singh will also be seen discussing various cricketing issues with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Rishabh Pant.

It was largely thanks to Yuvraj's stellar performances that India clinched the T20 World Cup in 2007 and the ODI World Cup in 2011. Every cricketer should start playing [golf] from childhood.

Former Indian World Cup-winning all-rounder Yuvraj Singh stated on Thursday that cricketers should begin playing golf at a young age to help cope with the stress inherent in their primary profession. Since retiring from cricket, Yuvraj has been playing golf as an amateur.

He has been appointed as the brand ambassador for the second edition of the 'Indian Golf Premier League' (IGPL). Speaking at the unveiling of the 10 franchises for the IGPL, Yuvraj remarked that cricketers should play golf alongside cricket. "I, too, should have started playing golf earlier, as it would have aided my cricket career. Golf truly helps you relieve stress." The schedule for the IGPL is yet to be finalized. He said that most foreign cricketers—especially players from Australia, New Zealand, England, and South Africa—have been playing golf since childhood.
