7 careers ruined: After losing these two big series, many senior players were dropped from Team India, including big names. Although the selectors did not remove MS Dhoni as captain, but the whip of being dropped from the team fell on a few players, who could not make a comeback in the Indian team in the same way after being dropped from the team.
So, on this entire incident of that period, recently former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh’s father and former Indian cricketer Yograj Singh, who is often known for his bold statements, has given a big statement.
7 careers ruined: Yograj Singh gave a big statement
Let us tell you that recently Yograj Singh said, quoting Insoud Sports – You (BCCI selectors) ruined these players without any reason. You finished players like Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Mohammad Kaif, VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid since 2011.
Yograj further said – At that time, five series were lost under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, and at that time Mohinder Amarnath (then Indian selector) had said that we will make someone else the captain in his place, but this did not happen. This was not the right way. After the World Cup 2011, you ruined the career and team of 7 players. Therefore, today we are struggling.
Well, despite the poor performance at that time, Dhoni continued to captain the team until his Test retirement in late 2014, while in early 2017, Dhoni handed over the captaincy in white ball cricket to Virat Kohli. However, Mohinder Amarnath’s tenure as selector lasted only one year.
