[WATCH] Yuvraj Singh issues apology to MS Dhoni, Kapil Dev over father Yograj’s remarks

Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has publicly apologised to legendary India captain MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev following the repeated controversial statements made by his father, Yograj Singh. 

In a recently released teaser of a podcast, Yuvraj made it clear that he does not endorse his father’s views.

“I would like to apologise to Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni,” Yuvraj said in an exclusive video to Sport Tak, addressing the long-standing issue.

Yograj Singh has, over the years, frequently targeted MS Dhoni, accusing the former India captain of sidelining Yuvraj from the national team. His comments have resurfaced multiple times, often reigniting debate within the cricketing fraternity.

Yuvraj, however, has largely maintained a distance from the controversy and refrained from publicly responding, until now. In the same teaser, the 2011 World Cup hero revealed that he has addressed the matter privately as well. “I have told dad that it’s not ok,” he added, expressing his discomfort over the nature of those statements.

The upcoming episode marks one of Yuvraj’s rare podcast appearances in recent times. The teaser also shows him speaking on various cricketing topics, including insights on Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and young talent Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.

The left-hander, in the same video, also lashed out at Sunrisers Hyderabad for not giving Abhishek Sharma captaincy in the absence of Pat Cummins in IPL 2026, as Ishan Kishan has given the captaincy instead.

While Yograj’s criticism of Dhoni has been widely documented, he also grabbed headlines last year with explosive allegations against Kapil Dev. He claimed that Kapil had threatened him, alleging that the former India skipper hampered his career during the early 1980s.

In a shocking revelation, Yograj stated that he once went to Kapil’s residence with a pistol to confront him. Kapil, however, chose not to engage in a prolonged back-and-forth, offering only a brief response at the time. Yograj has long expressed dissatisfaction over his exclusion from the Indian side during Kapil Dev’s tenure, with the issue continuing to resurface even decades later, highlighting a strained relationship with former teammates.
