Yuvraj Singh kept pleading, but Virat Kohli did not listen to him and ended his career, a shocking claim.
Yuvraj Singh has been one of the best players of Team India. Due to his all-round performance, he has always been a big match-winner for the team. He played an important role in the victory of the T20 World Cup and ODI World Cup. But in 2011, his career was in danger due to cancer. However, he defeated this deadly disease and made his place in the team again. But could not play for long. Now former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa has shocked everyone by accusing Virat Kohli of ending his career early. He made many shocking claims about Kohli in a recent interview.
After recovering from a disease like cancer, Yuvraj Singh's fitness was not the same as before. He was struggling a bit. Regarding this, Robin Uthappa revealed in an interview with Lallantop that 'Yuvraj had requested for reduction of points for the fitness test. The team management did not show any mercy towards him then. Virat used to be the leader at that time, everything happened at his behest. But he did not help Yuvraj in any way. However, Yuvi later passed the fitness test and made his place. But after a bad tournament, he was dropped. Then no one ever asked about him.'
Let us tell you that Yuvraj Singh failed to perform consistently well after returning to the team after defeating cancer. However, as soon as he came, he scored a century in the ODI against England. But he could not leave his mark in the 2017 Champions Trophy. His bat remained silent throughout the tournament. After this, Kohli never gave him a place in the team. He was kept out of the 2019 ODI World Cup team. Yuvraj had said that Dhoni had made it clear that the management was no longer looking at him. After this, his career was over and he announced his retirement.
Uthappa recently claimed that Kohli was the main reason behind Yuvraj being dropped from the team. According to him, such a big player should have been given more opportunities. Uthappa said, "You have to maintain a standard. But sometimes for a player like Yuvraj, you need to deviate from the rules. You have seen him struggling and then you became his captain. He has not only defeated cancer but has also won many tournaments. That is why he should have been given some time. It is not always about results. How you are treating your team and players is also seen."
