MS Dhoni wanted India's defeat in World Cup under Virat Kohli: Yograj Singh makes explosive statement

Yograj Singh, former Indian pacer and father of 2011 World Cup Player of the Tournament Yuvraj Singh, who once blamed MS Dhoni for India’s exit from the tournament in 2019, has once again targeted the legendary wicketkeeper-batsman.

Taking to his Twitter, Yograj shared a video of an old interview and wrote, “My blood is still boiling.”

In the video, Yograj said, “Dhoni deliberately didn't bat well so that India lose to the Kiwis. He never wanted any other captain to lift the World Cup title for India.”

“While Ravindra Jadeja, who was displaying great courage at one end and helping India get close to the total, Dhoni did not play to his ability. Had he (Dhoni) played 40 per cent of his ability, we could have won the match in the 48th over,” he alleged.

Notably, Dhoni was run out for 50 in the 49th over, leaving 24 runs for the tailenders to chase. India were eventually bundled out for 221 while chasing a total of 239.
