Former India cricketer and Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh has slammed MS Dhoni saying the India captain ridicules the same media which has given him so ‘much hype’.

In an interview to a Hindi news channel, Yograj said Dhoni was ‘nothing’ and it’s the media which has made him a star.

“There was a time when he had nothing but today he sits in front of media and rips off the media persons. He laughs at media who has given him so much hype. He laughs at the Indian people who clap when he scores a run. Honestly, if I were a mediaperson, I would have slapped Dhoni right there,” he said.

Yograj even went on to liken Dhoni to Ravana.

“Dhoni is arrogant. The way Ravana’s proud came to an end, Dhoni will also suffer some day. He considers himself much above Ravana. I feel really ashamed when other cricketers come and tell me about Dhoni. Earlier, I used to think that people must be cribbing about Dhoni due to jealousy. But when the cricketers told me about him, I think I have never seen a terrible person like him ever in my life,” he said.

He also questioned Dhoni’s decision to elevate himself in the batting order during the World Cup final in 2011 and blamed him for taking the credit instead of his son Yuvraj.

“In the 2011 final, Yuvraj was going to bat but Dhoni stopped him and went to bat and became a hero. Why didn’t he bat at No. 4 this time? Why did he go at No. 6? If he considers himself great then he should have batted at No. 6 and guided India to a win against the Aussies,” he said.

Previously, he has made remarks against Dhoni after Yuvraj was not selected in the 15-member World Cup squad.

Later, Yuvraj cleared the air on Twitter.
