Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has reacted former star cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s comment that there is a lack of role models in the present cricket team.
Yuvraj Said There Are Fewer Guys To Look Up To Now
Yuvraj Singh recently during his conversation with Rohit Sharma on Instagram said that except a few like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma there is no one that plays all the three formats and there are fewer guys to look up to.
He also said that the respect towards seniors has become less and lamented the effect of pervasive social media on the young players.
“In this team, seniors are you (Rohit) and Virat (Kohli) who play all three formats. I just feel since social media has come, there are very less guys to look up to. That sense of respect for seniors…it has become a thin line,” Yuvraj said.
Harbhajan was asked to react to Yuvraj’s remarks by a news organisation. He said he was with the national team until 2016 and he did not feel like that when he was there.
Harbhajan: I Don’t Know In What Context Yuvraj Said Like That
He also told he did not know in what context Yuvraj said those words and it would be better if they asked him to elaborate on his comments because he knows what the context is.
But he admitted that a lot of changes have happened in the team since 2016 when he had stopped playing in it.
“See every team has a different culture. Pehle ke time kuch aur the (times were different before). Now these are different times. What Yuvi has said, I don’t know in what context he said these things, but I played till 2016 and I never felt anything like this,” Harbhajan said.
“Now I haven’t been in the team since 2016 so I cannot comment on this current bunch. But till the time I was there, I never felt anything. Yes, the team has changed a lot since 2016. So maybe Yuvi can give you a better answer to this as he knows the context.”
