Yograj Singh, Armed with a Gun, Went to Kapil Dev’s House to Kill Him – What Happened Next?
Yograj Singh, former cricketer and father of Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, made a startling revelation during an interview with YouTuber Sandeesh Bhatia. Yograj claimed that he once considered killing legendary cricketer Kapil Dev after being dropped from the team. His statements during the interview have sparked widespread attention and discussion.
Recalling the incident, Yograj said, "When Kapil Dev became the captain of the Indian cricket team, I was removed from the North Zone and Haryana teams without any valid reason." He added that his wife had advised him to avoid any confrontation with Kapil, but he was determined to teach him a lesson. "I took a pistol and went to Kapil’s house in Sector 9. Just as I was about to act, Kapil came out with his mother. Seeing them together, I stepped back," Yograj recounted.
Yograj also admitted that he had engaged in a verbal altercation with Kapil Dev outside his house and had hurled abuses at him multiple times. "I lost everything because of you. I wanted to shoot you, but I couldn’t because your mother was standing beside you," he explained. He further accused Kapil Dev and Bishan Singh Bedi of conspiring against him, claiming that he was a victim of politics in sports.
Kapil Dev’s Reaction:
When reporters asked Kapil Dev about Yograj Singh’s accusations and his shocking admission of going to Kapil’s house with a gun, Kapil initially appeared stunned. After regaining composure, he responded with a rhetorical question: "Who is Yograj?" Upon being informed that it was Yuvraj Singh’s father, Kapil reportedly replied, "Oh, is it?" without making any further comment.
