Surinder Khanna’s Humorous Take on Yograj Singh’s Controversial Comments
In a recent turn of events, former Indian cricketer Surinder Khanna added a lighthearted twist to the ongoing controversy surrounding Yograj Singh’s shocking remarks about cricket legend Kapil Dev. Yograj’s comments, which included a dramatic claim about considering violence against Kapil after being dropped from the Indian team, have stirred considerable debate in the cricket community.
The Context of the Controversy
During an appearance on the podcast “Unfiltered by Samdish,” Yograj Singh alleged that Kapil Dev’s decision to exclude him from the playing XI had driven him to the brink of rage. He recounted a moment where he said, “I want to put a bullet through your head, but I’m not doing it because your pious mother is standing here.” Yograj, who played just one Test and six ODIs, claimed this incident marked the end of his cricket career and shifted his focus to his son, Yuvraj Singh’s burgeoning career.
Khanna’s Comedic Relief
Amidst this serious backdrop, Surinder Khanna responded with a dose of humor. He commented, “He says anything, he’s our friend. Even Kapil Dev knows he’s a bit of a crack and speaks without thinking. That was 1983, and now is 2025, my friend. Hi Yog, don’t do this stuff (laughs).” Khanna’s light-hearted comments not only defused the tension but also reminded fans that the cricketing world often thrives on banter and camaraderie.
Kapil Dev’s Calm Response
Kapil Dev himself took the comments in stride. At a golf event in Delhi, when asked about Yograj’s claims, he playfully replied, “Kaun hai? Kiski baat kar rahe ho?” (Who is he? Whom are you talking about?), before casually asking if there was anything else to discuss. This response showcased Kapil’s ability to maintain composure in the face of controversy.
In a cricketing landscape often filled with drama, Khanna’s humor and Kapil’s calm demeanor serve as a reminder that sportsmanship and friendship can prevail, even amidst the most sensational claims.
