Did Yuvraj Singh’s father really want to shoot Kapil Dev? Kapil Dev gave this answer

Indian cricket team’s legendary all-rounder and 1983 World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev has reacted to Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh’s statement. Former Indian fast bowler Yograj Singh had claimed that when Kapil Dev dropped him from the team, he went to his house with a pistol to kill him. On Monday, when journalists asked Kapil Dev about Yograj Singh’s statement, everyone was shocked to hear his words.

In a recent interview about World Cup champion Kapil Dev, Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh said that he was very angry when Kapil Dev dropped him from the team. He told his wife that now Kapil will have to pay the price. They had reached their house with a pistol to kill them at night. When Kapil Dev was asked about it, he simply said, “Who is it? What are you talking about? The reporter said that Yuvraj Singh’s father has threatened to kill you. Kapil said: “Okay, anything else?”

Yograj Singh made his debut for Team India against Australia in 1980 under the captaincy of Sunil Gavaskar. In his international career of less than three months, Yograj Singh played a total of one Test and six ODIs for India. “When Kapil Dev became the captain of India North Zone and Haryana, he dropped me from the team for no reason,” he said in ‘Unfiltered By Samdish’.

“My wife (Yuvraj’s mother) wanted me to talk to Kapil about it, I told her that I will teach this man a lesson,” he said. He took out his pistol and went to Kapil’s house in Sector 9 that night. Kapil came out with his mother. I abused him a lot and said, ‘I have lost a friend because of you, you will have to pay for what you have done.’ I want to shoot you in the head, but I’m not doing it because you have a good mother standing here. Then I decided that I would not play cricket; Yuvi (Yuvraj Singh) will play.
