Cricket: Yuvraj Singh echoes Ravi Shastri's stand, says WTC final should have been three-match series
Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh landed himself into controversy for his remarks on Yuzvendra Chahal which created outrage all over social media. A complaint was lodged against Yuvraj regarding the matter by a lawyer from Haryana – Rajat Kalsan – as he stated that remarks made by the former India all-rounder were casteist against Dalits, as per reports. However, Yuvraj on Friday released a statement in which the World Cup-winning all-rounder said that he was misunderstood while having conversation with friends.
Yuvraj further said that he never believed in disparity and will continue to spend his life for the welfare of people. He expressed regrets for unintentionally hurting sentiments.
“We are investigating the matter. But nothing has been decided so far. No FIR has been registered yet,” Hansi Superintendent of Police Lokender Singh told a leading daily.
Meanwhile, Yuvraj has been one of the most active voices during the time of COVID-19 as the former Indian cricketer continues to keep his fans engaged on social media platforms while spreading awareness around COVID-19 pandemic. He was also seen taking up challenges with fellow former and active cricketers on Twitter.
