Dhoni shocked the cricketing world by announcing his decision, through the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), to step down from ODI and T20I leadership. Twitterati suggests that the person happiest with Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s sudden decision to step down as captain is Yuvraj Singh’s dad Yograj Singh.
The former India cricketer and Yuvraj Singh’s father had slammed MS Dhoni and threatened to slap him in the past. While the social media erupted and paid tributes to MS Dhoni after he stepped down as India’s ODI and T20 skipper, some posts also took a dig at Yograj Singh, Yuvraj Singh’s father.
Yograj blamed Dhoni for everything ‘wrong’ he felt has been done to his son from not selecting his son for the ICC World Cup 2015. Yograj had also said that Dhoni would suffer the same fate as that of Ravana.
After the shock of the 35-year-old’s announcement, Yuvraj SIngh’s father Yograj Singh started trending on Twitter. Here are some of the tweets trolling Yograj after Dhoni decision.
