Profile
Father of Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh, Yograj Singh, is a former Indian seamer who played 1 Test and 6 ODIs for India. A right-arm fast-medium bowler, Yograj was selected for India's tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1980-81.
His performances in the ODIs were very disappointing. In 5 innings, he only took 4 wickets at an average of 46.50. His only Test appearance came against New Zealand at Wellington. He only bowled in the first innings and took 1/63. His only Test wicket came in the form of John Wright. India eventually lost the game by 62 runs. He played in seven first-class matches on the tour and returned with just 13 wickets.
Yograj played 30 first-class matches for Haryana and Punjab. He took 66 wickets at an average of 26.60. After his career got curtailed by injury, Yograj entered the Punjabi film industry and has starred in a number of films.
Controversies:
Recently, Yograj Singh was in the news for his comments regarding MS Dhoni. Yograj alleged that Dhoni was behind Yuvraj Singh's exclusion from 2015 World Cup squad and claimed that Dhoni has become 'great' only because of the hype created by media. He even said: \"There will be a day when Dhoni will be left to beg and become penniless and would not get any favour.\"
In 2014, he was arrested by Haryana Police in connection with an alleged altercation over car parking in Panchkula.
