Yograj Singh, father of former India cricketer and veteran Yuvraj Singh, has strongly criticized the changes in the Indian cricket team after the 2011 ODI World Cup. In a media conversation, Yograj accused the selectors that he ruined the career of the legendary players who won the World Cup.

Team India won the World Cup after 28 years in 2011. The team consisted of veteran players like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan. But Yograj Singh says that only after this historic victory, these players were gradually shown the way out of the team. Yograj said that the selectors abolished these players without any reason. He said that the career of veterans like Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan was finished in one stroke.

This claim made about Dhoni

In this interview, Yograj Singh also claimed that BCCI selector Mohinder Amarnath wanted to remove MS Dhoni from the captaincy as the team had lost 5 series consecutive series. He said that there was talk of removing MS Dhoni. But the team is not run like this. The players who brought you the World Cup should have given away with respect.
