Yuvraj Singh ‘got nothing to do with statements coming out in the media’
Mumbai: Former Indian cricketer and star all-rounder Yuvraj Singh’s father, Yograj Singh, launched a tirade against Mahendra Singh Dhoni, saying “I would have slapped Dhoni, had I been a journalist.” Following the verbal assault from his father, Yuvraj Singh has taken to Twitter to issue a clarification of sorts.

Yograj Singh, in an interview to a Hindi news channel, claimed that Dhoni is arrogant. He did not stop at that and went on to compare MS Dhoni with Ravana and said Indian cricket team captain will meet the same fate as that of Lankan king.
