Former Team India cricketer Yuvraj Singh's father Yograj Singh has once again sparked more controversy with his recent comments on MS Dhoni.
In the past, Yograj lashed out at Dhoni on multiple occasions and has been critical with his assessments about the veteran wicketkeeper-batsman.
The 62-year old has now claimed that he felt that his son was set to take over as the Team India skipper before destiny had other plans.
After India's below-average performance at the 2007 World Cup in West Indies, BCCI decided to appoint Dhoni as the first team captain. The following year, the now 38-year old guided India to a T20 World Cup win in South Africa.
Yograj, while lauding Sourav Ganguly's captaincy, claimed that the youngsters in the national side got much more support from Sourav than Dhoni ever provided during his reign.
"The videos I have watched lately featuring Sehwag, Gambhir or Yuvraj, everybody has said something about Dhoni directly or indirectly. Why does everybody talk about Ganguly so much?" Yograj Singh was quoted as saying by numerous outlets.
"When he started building the team, its ranking was 7. He took youngsters like Yuvraj, Kaif, Zaheer, Harbhajan, Sehwag and Gambhir and built a new team."
"It’s destiny that Yuvraj was supposed to become captain but Dhoni got the captaincy as well as a well-built team," the former Team India allrounder added.
Yograj also tipped Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to give a proper send-off to the leaders like Virat, MS, Rohit, etc for their undisputed contributions towards the national side.
"When Dhoni, Kohli or Rohit retire, I would request the board to give them a good send-off as they have done so much for Indian cricket. Many have backstabbed him and it hurts," he added.
