Yograj Singh’s attitude towards MS Dhoni is shocking

While speaking on the YouTube show Unfiltered by Samdish, Yograj Singh was asked about MS Dhoni and his captaincy. Ugraj called Dhoni a proactive captain and claimed that he can read wickets quickly.

“I found (MS) Dhoni to be a very proactive captain who could tell people what to do. The best thing about Dhoni was that he could read the wickets and tell the bowlers where to bowl,” Ugra said Gee observed.

Calling him a “fearless” man, Ugraj cited an incident that showed the world how fearless Dhoni is. He also feels that there are very few players left in modern cricket with such a fearless attitude.

“The thing I love most about him is he’s a fearless guy. If you remember in Australia, he got hit on the gridiron by my Mitchell Johnson and he didn’t move, he stood There, he pulled him for six off the next ball Aise log kaafi kam hote hai (There are few like him),” he added.

In 2024, during an interview on Zee Switch’s YouTube channel, Yograj Singh launched a scathing attack on MS Dhoni and accused him of ending Yuvraj Singh’s career. He even made Dhoni look in the mirror and refused to forgive him.

“I will not forgive MS Dhoni. He should look at his face in the mirror. He was a very good cricketer but what he did to my son, everything has come to light now; it’s in life can never be forgiven,” Ugraj said.

He even claimed the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award, for his son Yuvraj Singh, who helped India win the World Cup in 2011 despite suffering from cancer.

“I dare everyone to have a son like Yuvraj. Even Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag have said in the past that they will not do it again There comes another Yuvraj Singh. India should give him the Bharat Ratna Award for his World Cup win for the country in the fight against cancer.
