    yuvraj singh is probably going to be kicked out after this final wc t20. But he is going to go through life thinking that its because dhoni doesnt like him. And I want him to know, from the bottom of my heart, that won’t be true. It’ll be because he is the worst bastard of Indian cricket, a desh drohi

    Bhajji, the under 19 WC which Yuvi played in was in 1999. The Nat West Trophy of 2002? Excuse me while I try to get around that but that was twelve years ago. Even the ODI World Cup was three years ago and in professional sport that is a long time. With Bhajji’s logic our team should still have Mohinder Amarnath (1983 World Cup) and Shastri (The Champion of Champions 1985 B&H).
