'Team India used to be like family'— former India cricketer drops bombshell before ENG vs IND series

Yograj Singh, former India cricketer and father of Yuvraj Singh, again dropped a bombshell. In the latest interview, the former cricketer has made some interesting comments about Indian cricket. In this section, without mentioning anyone's name directly, Yograj simply said that the dressing culture Team India used to have was completely destroyed around 2011.

In the past, Singh repeatedly criticized former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni for several reasons. This time, when he mentioned the 2011 World Cup and the time around, cricket fans guessed who Yograj could've talked about. He said that even when Sourav Ganguly was the leader of the team, there was a combination of new and experienced cricketers, all sharing the dressing room like family members. But all of a sudden, in 2011, especially after the ODI World Cup, things started to change and the culture was gone, said Yograj. 

In his own words, "We (team India) burned our own houses to stand for one person. Team India used to be like a family of older brothers and younger brothers (experienced & youngsters). But it all changed because of one person."

Mohinder Amarnath wanted to sack MS Dhoni in 2011!

The straightforward former pointed out when Mohinder Amarnath, who then (2011, 2012) was the BCCI selector, wanted to sack MS Singh. Yuvraj's father claimed that right after winning the World Cup, the board selectors one by one decided to let go of the legends of the dressing room. 

"You (BCCI selectors) just destroyed these boys for no reason. Boys like Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Mohammed Kaif, VVS Laxman, and Rahul Dravid. You just made them go after 2011," Yograj said in an interview.
