Yograj Singh Blasts BCCI Over Banning Digvesh Rathi For Celebration Row: "Nonsense..."
Yograj Singh, father of former Indian cricket team star Yuvraj Singh, came out in support of Lucknow Super Giants spinner Digvesh Rathi who was suspended by BCCI over his controversial celebration. Digvesh grabbed headlines with his impressive show in IPL 2025 but his 'notebook' celebration split the internet. While some praised him for his passionate show, there were some who were not happy and the BCCI decided to impose a fine on him three times. He was even suspended for a game after an on-field spat with Abhishek Sharma over his celebration. However, Yograj was not happy with how the cricket board handled the situation and he even went on to call the action 'nonsense'. 'Come on man, don't fine them. It's okay. You are still friends with the bowlers. Everybody is not the same. Emotions go. Forgive them. Obviously, at the end of the day, you're friends, if you say sorry, the matter is over. Have a big heart and don't get into these petty things. What is this nonsense going on, fining kids,' Yograj Singh said on InsideSport. After winning the 2011 World Cup, India went through a tumultuous transition phase over the next two years, getting whitewashed 0-4 in away Test series against England and Australia. These defeats saw a number of Indian stalwarts getting dropped from the Indian team. The selectors had even unanimously decided that MS Dhoni would be sacked as captain, with former India all-rounder Mohinder Amarnath one of the key figures of the selection committee then. Reflecting on that episode, Yograj Singh, the father of former India star Yuvraj Singh, has brutally criticised Amarnath and co. "You (BCCI selectors) just destroyed these boys for no reason. Boys like Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Mohammed Kaif, VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid. You just made them go after 2011," Yograj said, speaking to InsideSport. "You just destroyed the team after the 2011 World Cup. The careers of 7 players were put into the gutter. That is why were struggling," Yograj added.

Yograj Singh, father of Yuvraj Singh and a former India cricketer, has revealed the kind of sledging that Gavaskar faced in West Indies. He mentioned the incident while talking about the repeated fines that was imposed on Digvesh Rathi during IPL 2025 for aggressive celebration. "You should have seen the West Indians. Ask Sunil Gavaskar. He will tell you. 'Oh, it's another man. Small man. I'm going to kill you, man. You have kids. Go home. You bloody this and this and this and this'. People like Michael Holding, Marshall and all the guys are coming and abusing you. Hitting you on the head, bruising you. Go to the hospital. But they were also very harsh words," Yograj Singh told Inside Sports. "So were the Australians. So were the south Africans. And why not? No one carries it outside. Till you go out of the way to destroy anybody's career. That is not acceptable." In the same interview, Yograj criticised former BCCI selector Mohinder Amaranath. After winning the 2011 World Cup, India went through a tumultuous transition phase over the next two years, getting whitewashed 0-4 in away Test series against England and Australia. These defeats saw a number of Indian stalwarts getting dropped from the Indian team.

'BCCI selectors wanted MS Dhoni sacked. Careers of 7 players were destroyed after 2011 WC': Yograj Singh's bombshell
Former Indian cricketer Yograj Singh, father of the legendary Yuvraj Singh, on Sunday made an explosive claim, where he alleged that the BCCI selection committee "destroyed" the careers of seven cricketers after the 2011 ODI World Cup win, and later even tried to get rid of captain MS Dhoni. The 2011 ODI World Cup win had ended India's 28-year wait for the coveted trophy, with the home team having defeated Sri Lanka in the final at the Wankhede Stadium. But the tournament also marked the end of an era in Indian cricket as only three players - Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin and Dhoni himself - went on to play the following 50-over World Cup in 2015. Speaking to InsideSport, Yograj lashed out at the then selection committee for quickly moving on from the 2011 World Cup-winning team, saying that the decision "destroyed" their careers. This included the likes of present India head coach Gautam Gambhir, his predecessor Rahul Dravid, and Yuvraj. "You (BCCI selectors) just destroyed these boys for no reason. Boys like Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Mohammed Kaif, VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid. You just made them go after 2011. You just destroyed the team after the 2011 World Cup. The careers of 7 players were put into the gutter. That is why were are struggling," Yograj said. The veteran cricketer also brought up the run of events from 2012, which led to the former selector Mohinder Amarnath wanting to sack Dhoni, following a unanimous call from the remaining committee members after the two whitewashes in England and Australia. "We lost 5 series when MS Dhoni was the captain and he was told he would be replaced by Mohinder Amarnath, but that's not the way to do it," Yograj said. However, the decision was overturned by then BCCI president N Srinivasan. "The Board President did not approve the unanimous decision to replace Mahendra Singh Dhoni," Amarnath had told CNN-IBN.
