Kapil Dev responds with a stinging “Yograj Singh kaun hai?” after Yuvraj Singh’s father, Yograj, made controversial comments about him, sparking viral reactions.
New Delhi: In an interview with YouTuber Samdish Bhatia, former cricketer Yograj Singh, father of cricket legend Yuvraj Singh, shared a startling revelation about Kapil Dev. Yograj confessed that after being dropped from the Indian team, he once went to Kapil’s house with a pistol, intending to take his life.
“WhenKapil Dev became the captain of India, North Zone, and Haryana, he dropped me for no reason,” Yograj said.
“My wife asked me to confront him, but I decided to teach him a lesson instead. I took my pistol and went to Kapil’s house in Sector 9. He came out with his mother. That’s when I stopped.”
A moment of rage and restraint
Yograj’s anger stemmed from what he believed was an unfair exclusion, allegedly orchestrated by Kapil Dev and other influential figures in cricket. He recounted confronting Kapil outside his house, saying, “I abused him a dozen times and told him, ‘Because of you, I’ve lost everything.” I want to put a bullet through your head, but I won’t do it because your pious mother is standing here.’ Then I left.”
Cricket Politics and Betrayal
Yograj Singh accused Kapil Dev and other prominent figures, including the late Bishan Singh Bedi, of conspiring against him during his cricket career. He revealed that the politics within the sport eventually led him to quit the game altogether.
A Father’s Revenge Through His Son
After India’s 2011 ODI World Cup victory, where Yuvraj Singh played a key role, Yograj Singh took a dig at Kapil Dev. He remarked, “In 2011, when India won the World Cup, the only man crying was Kapil Dev. I sent him a paper cutting saying, ‘My son did better than you in the World Cup.’”
Kapil Dev’s Reaction to Yograj Singh’s Comments
When reporters and paparazzi asked Kapil Dev about Yograj Singh’s remarks, the former India captain appeared unfazed. He responded,
“Kaun hai? Kiski baat kar rahe ho?” (Who? Who are you asking about?). When informed that it was Yuvraj Singh’s father, Yograj, who made the statement, Kapil Dev casually replied, “Acha, aur kuch?” (Oh, that’s all?)
