“If Yuvraj Singh had died from cancer..” – Father Yograj Singh makes big claim, surprises many

Yograj Singh has been controversy's favorite child, and is known for digs at MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev in the past.

Yograj Singh has once again taken the world of social media by his big claims. Right from holding a pistol to legendary Kapil Dev, to outrageous claims on how he imagines himself as cricketer.. and Yuvraj Singh’s father did not stop there only. In an interview on Unfiltered by Samdish podcast, he went on to reveal that had his son died on the cricket field, he would still have been a proud father.

Yograj Singh Makes Bold Claims

Just for the record, Yuvraj Singh played with cancer in the 2011 World Cup, and still emerged as the player of the tournament. “For our country, if Yuvraj Singh had died from cancer and had won India the World Cup, I would have been a proud father. I still am very proud of him. I have told him this over the phone as well. I wanted him to play even when he was spitting blood. I told him, ‘Don’t worry, you won’t die. Win this World Cup for India,'” Yograj Singh said.

If this wasn’t enough, he said, he insinuated that Yuvraj couldn’t do justice to his talent. “Yuvraj Singh, if he had worked even 10 percent like his father, he would have become a great cricketer,” Yograj said.

During the 2011 World Cup, Yuvraj had scored 362 runs at an average of 90.50. Apart from that in 9 matches, he ended up picking 15 wickets, at an average of 25, including a fifer against Ireland in one of their group matches.
