During the heart-to-heart interview, Yograj Singh said, “Dhoni was nothing. He has become a God in cricket just because of media. Media has crowned him as a great which he never deserved. There was a time when he had nothing but today he sits in front of media and laughs at media which has given him so much hype. He laughs at Indian people who clap when he scores a run. Honestly, if I were a media person, I would have slapped Dhoni right there,” said Yograj. Also Read: Why is Yuvraj Singh still a “big fish”?

He pointed out Dhoni’s ploy during 2011 Cricket World Cup final when he promoted himself up the batting order at No. 4 from No. 6. Yograj said, in the 2011 final, Yuvraj was going to bat but Dhoni stopped him and went to bat and became a hero. Why didn’t he bat at No. 4 this time? Why did he go at No. 6? If he considers himself great then he should have batted at No. 4 and guided India to a win against Aussies.”

Yograj Singh had targeted the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper when his son Yuvraj was picked up by Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Delhi Daredevils for a whopping Rs 16 crore. He had questioned the southpaw’s omission from India’s 2015 World Cup squad.

“I want to know what is (Mahendra Singh) Dhoni’s problem with my son. He played for the country even when he was suffering from cancer. I don’t understand this,” Yograj, a former all-rounder in the 1970s, said. “If Dhoni is having personal issues with my son, I won’t do anything, God will do justice,” added Yograj.
