Yograj Singh, father of legendary cricketer Yuvraj Singh, has once grabbed headlines for his criticism on MS Dhoni. Yograj, who has represented India in one Test and six ODIs, has repeatedly lashed out at the former India captain, accusing him of sabotaging his son's career. Yograj in his latest attack remarked that he'll never "forgive" the former wicketkeeper-batter. "I won't forgive MS Dhoni. He should look at his face in the mirror. He is a very big cricketer, but what he has done against my son, everything is coming out now; it can never be forgiven in life. I have never done two things in life - first, I have never forgiven anybody who has done wrong for me, and second, I have never hugged them in my life, be it my family members or my kids," said Yograj in an interaction with Zee Switch YouTube channel.

“That man has ruined my son’s life, who could have played for four to five more years. I challenge everyone to have a son like Yuvraj. Even Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag have said that there will never be another Yuvraj Singh,” he added.

Yograj also endorsed that Yuvraj should be conferred with the Bharat Ratna - India’s highest civilian award. “India should award him the Bharat Ratna for playing through cancer and winning the World Cup for the country,” he said.

Meanwhile, the attacks were not just limited to Dhoni as Yograj also dragged India's first World Cup-winning skipper Kapil Dev's name during the interaction. “The greatest captain of our time, Kapil Dev… I told him, I’ll leave you in a position where the world would curse you. Today, Yuvraj Singh has 13 trophies, and you have only one, the World Cup. End of discussion,” he said.
