Yograj Singh’s ‘Wo Koyla Hi Hae’ Remark On Arjun Tendulkar Sparks Meme Fest On Social Media
New Delhi: Yograj Singh, the former cricketer and father of Yuvraj Singh, has always been in limelight for speaking his heart out on all issues. Not very long ago, his comments regarding Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni had gone viral. Yograj said on the Switch YouTube channel, “I won’t forgive MS Dhoni. He should look at his face in the mirror. Great cricketer, but what he did to my son, it won’t be pardoned ever.”
Yuvraj and Dhoni shared the dressing room as teammates for more than ten years, during which time even Yuvraj was Dhoni’s vice-captain. But there is often tension, many feel, because Dhoni was made captain in 2007; previously, before that, Yuvraj had been vice-captain to Rahul Dravid.
Yograj Singh played an crucial role in Yuvraj Singh’s growth in the cricket field as he trained him since his childhood. Sachin Tendulkar’s son Arjun also trained under him.

“Arjun Tendulkar came to you for training. How do you see his future?” the anchor asked in the interview.
“Have you seen diamond in a coal mine? Woh Koyla hi hai..nikalo patthar hi hai, kisi tarashgir ke haath me dalo to chamak ke duniya ko kohinoor ban jata hai (It is coal that is rock when taken out from a mine, but if it is given in proper hands, it goes on to become Kohinoor. It is priceless. But if that same diamond reaches a person who does not know its worth, he destroys it. I don’t say it myself that Yograj Singh is a great character, Yuvraj Singh says it, ‘there is magic in my dad’s hand, he made me what I am.’ Earlier, I was abused ‘Hitler, Dragon Singh, I hate my father’. Everybody hated me in my home. My relatives said, I should not have been a father,” Yograj Singh replied.
“But he walked his path. And by God’s Grace you got Yuvraj Singh.”
Here’s how fans have reacted to Yograj’s comments:
