Legendary India cricketer Yuvraj Singh's father Yograj Singh is in the news once again. This time, Yograj has now taken a brutal dig at India's 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev by comparing him with his son Yuvraj Singh.

It is to be noted that Yograj has not shared a great relationship with Kapil Dev ever since he was dropped from India's squad in the year 1981.

Yograj has been consistently using disrespectful remarks towards the former India captain, complaining that Kapil Dev played a big role in his snub.

Kapil Dev is not the only legendary cricketer against whom Yograj has created such a controversy. He has also been consistently criticizing another India's World Cup-winning captain MS Dhoni for destroying the career of his son Yuvraj Singh.

Yograj Singh lashes out at Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni

During an interview with Zee Switch, Yograj Singh was furious at Kapil Dev and compared him with his son.

Yograj claimed that Kapil Dev has won just one major trophy in his career while Yuvraj Singh has won 13 major trophies.

“The greatest captain of our time, Kapil Dev... I told him, I'll leave you in a position where the world would curse you. Today, Yuvraj Singh has 13 trophies, and you have only one, the World Cup. End of discussion,” Yograj said during the interview.

Earlier, Yograj had also accused MS Dhoni of destroying Yuvraj Singh's career and even asked him to look in the mirror.

“I won’t forgive MS Dhoni. He should look at his face in the mirror. He is a very big cricketer, but what he has done against my son, everything is coming out now; it can never be forgiven in life. I have never done two things in life—first, I have never forgiven anybody who has done wrong for me, and second, I have never hugged them in my life, be it my family members or my kids,” Yograj had said.
