Former India pacer Yograj Singh, father of Yuvraj Singh, has made controversial statements, accusing MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli of being "scared" of Yuvraj and acting as "backstabbers." He alleges they feared Yuvraj's talent and potential to replace them in the Indian team.
Singh claims other players were intimidated by Yuvraj's cricketing prowess, fearing he would take their place in the team. He asserts that Sachin Tendulkar was Yuvraj's sole genuine friend in the team.
Yuvraj Singh had a successful international career, playing 402 matches and scoring over 11,000 runs. He was a key member of India's World Cup-winning teams in 2007 and 2011.
“People were scared of Yuvraj Singh because they were afraid where he would usurp their seats because he was such a great player created by the God Almighty.”
