Yuvraj Singh’s father, Yograj Singh, has built quite a reputation for launching scathing attacks on Indian cricketers, especially his son’s former India teammate and legend MS Dhoni. He recently said in an interview that he will never forgive MS Dhoni and blamed the former India captain for ruining a few years of Yuvraj's cricketing career. Interestingly, a video of Yuvraj Singh’s old interview of him suggesting that his father has a mental issue has gone viral amidst this.
Yograj voiced strong resentment towards Dhoni, accusing him of damaging his son Yuvraj’s cricket career. Yograj declared that he could never forgive Dhoni for allegedly cutting short Yuvraj's career by four to five years.
