There were a handful of stinging comments which deluged the internet as former Indian cricketer, Yograj Singh, also the father of Yuvraj Singh, made scathing remarks about women. Speaking on ‘Unfiltered with Samdish’ YouTube channel, Yograj Singh made a controversial remark about women, also dragging India’s former PM Indira Gandhi as an example in his statement. He also highlighted the fact that Yuvraj Singh did make him proud but could have done better.

Yuvraj Singh revealed in an earlier episode of the Club Prairie Podcast alongside Michael Vaughan and Adam Gilchrist that he was forced to play cricket by his father. He also pointed out that he won a gold medal in the roller skating U14 National Championship and yet was not allowed to pursue the game. The recent statements of Yograj Singh rekindled the infamous words uttered by his son few months back.

So I forced him. One day, when Yuvi came home after winning a skating competition, my first thought was that my son was doing such a fantastic job in this sport, winning so many medals. But when I looked at him, his red band and long mane, something hit me very hard. I threw away his skates and his medals. People called me a ruthless man, but I had something else in my mind. Yuvi was twelve years old at that time.

Formerly talking in the BeerBiceps podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia, Yuvraj Singh hinted that his father had mental issues and he didn’t want to accept it.
