Kapil Dev, who was recently spotted arriving at an event, was caught by the paparazzi, and the media asked him questions about Yograj Singh. To this, Kapil Dev reacted, “Kaun hai? Kaun hai? Kiski baat kar rahe ho? (Who is he? Who is he? Whom are you talking about?” A paparazzo then replied, “Yograj Singh. Yuvraj Singh’s father.” To this, Kapil Dev said, “Acchaa, aur kuch? (Anything else).”

Yograj Singh’s remarks went viral.

Appearing on “Unfiltered by Samdish,” Yuvraj Singh’s father and former cricketer Yograj Singh opened up about how Kapil Dev dropped him from the national team. For the uninitiated, Yograj played for India in one Test and six ODIs. He said, “When Kapil Dev became captain of India, North Zone, and Haryana, he dropped me for no reason. My wife wanted me to ask Kapil questions. I told her that I would teach this bloody man a lesson.” He added, “I took my pistol out; I went to Kapil’s house in Sector 9. He came out with his mother. I abused him a dozen times. I told him because of you I have lost a friend and what you have done, you will pay for it. I told him, ‘I want to put a bullet through your head, but I am not doing it because you have a very pious mother who is standing here.’ I told Shabnam, ‘Let’s go.’”

Yograj Singh then revealed that he hadn’t spoken to Kapil Dev in all these years. He said, “In 2011 when India won the World Cup, there was only one guy who was crying, and it was Kapil Dev. I did send him a paper cutting that my son did better than you in the World Cup. Kapil sent me a WhatsApp text saying we will be brothers in the next life. We will be born from the same mother in the next life. He wanted to meet me. But there is a vengeance, and it still hurts.”
