And former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh has been very vocal for many years. Immediately after bidding for international cricket, he ignored himself and broke up with selectors for putting too much emphasis on the Yo-Yo Test. Now, he has taken another hotshot against Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni for not supporting him like Sourav Ganguly.
The 38-year-old became the hero for Team India in the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 World Cup. He was named the Man of the Tournament of All Time for his contribution to the 2011 mega event.
The left-arm Punjab-born player made his debut back in 2000 and retired as one of the greatest all-rounders India has produced in his cricket history. He played 40 Tests, 304 ODIs, and 58 T20Is, in which he scored 11,778 runs with 148 wickets in all formats.
He was playing at his best before being diagnosed with cancer. However, Yuvraj returned to cricket after 18 months of fighting. But after recovering from a life-threatening disease, he lost his aura. And after taking part in the Indian team in 2017, he had to retire from last year’s game.
I have more playing memories under Sourav, says Yuvraj Singh
Now, in an interview, Yuvraj Singh has said that he has not received enough support from MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli to match Sourav Ganguly’s captaincy. However, when asked to select the best captain he has played, Southpaw admitted that it was difficult for him to choose between Dhoni and Ganguly. In the end, he says he has more memories with Sourav Ganguly.
“I played under Sourav (Ganguly), and there was a lot of support from him than Mahi (MS Dhoni). But this is a difficult choice to make between Sourav and Mahi. Because of the support Sourav gave me, I have many memories. I have no support from Mahi and Virat (Kohli),” Yuvraj Singh told Sports star.
