Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni’s 256-run partnership in the second ODI of the ongoing series between India and England was celebrated by every Indian cricket fan. It was a moment the fans were hoping for when Yuvraj Singh was picked in the squad. After the first warm-up match between India A and England, which was also MS Dhoni’s last match as India’s captain, Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni recorded a video, which became viral on social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter.
While the whole nation was busy celebrating Yuvraj and Dhoni’s partnership, there was one man who didn’t seem to like it as much. Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh, who has said many controversial things about MS Dhoni in the past, still blamed Dhoni for “wasting” three years of Yuvraj’s career.
“He (Dhoni) wasted 3 years of Yuvi’s cricket career. It was uncalled for. He should realise this and apologise to God almighty. I have always forgiven people who have done bad to me and my kids. God is great,” he was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.
However, during yesterday’s post-match interview, Man of the Match Yuvraj did not mention his father’s name and credited his successful return to the Indian ODI side to the prayers of his mother, guru ji, as well as wife ‘lady luck’ Hazel Keech
“Definitely, the lady luck is there. The blessing of my mother and my guruji is there. That’s why I am still playing,” Yuvraj Singh said.
