The greatest all-rounder in Indian cricket history and 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev has finally given his first official reaction to the highly sensational and controversial ‘Goli Scandal’ statement given by Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh. ‘Haryana Hurricane’, who remained silent on this matter for a long time, said in clear words that he still considers Yograj as his old and good friend, but he is not at all in favor of giving any place to bitterness and negativity in his beautiful life. This mature and balanced statement of Kapil Dev has started a new debate from social media to the entire cricket corridor.

What was Yograj Singh’s pistol ‘shooting’ controversy, which created a stir?

Actually, former fast bowler of Team India Yograj Singh always remains in the headlines for his outspoken and sometimes very controversial statements. Some time ago he had made a very shocking claim in an interview. Yograj alleged that after Kapil Dev became the captain of North Zone, Haryana and then the Indian team, he was deliberately dropped from the team without any concrete reason. In this anger and rage, Yograj had claimed that he had once reached Kapil Dev’s house in Sector-9, Chandigarh with a pistol (pistol case) and had abused him fiercely there. After this statement, there was a huge uproar on social media and his son Yuvraj Singh had to face immense embarrassment over this.

‘I don’t like meeting bitter people’ – Kapil Dev opened his heart in the podcast

Recently, in a special podcast of Sports Tak, when the anchor of the show asked Kapil Dev a question on this scary and controversial claim of Yograj, the veteran cricketer replied smilingly. Kapil Dev said that I don’t know what exactly he is trying to say, but even today the hand of friendship is extended from my side. He further said a very deep thing that I do not like to spend time with bitter and negative thinking people in my life. I always want to be around happy and positive people. There are ups and downs in life, but a person should always forget the old things and move forward.

Mentioning the success of Yuvraj Singh and giving special advice: There is no place in the world for a bitter person.

Kapil Dev also gave a fatherly advice to Yograj Singh without any hesitation by reminding him of the greatness and success of his son Yuvraj Singh. He said that what Yograj’s son (Yuvraj Singh) has done for Indian cricket is amazing. Yograj should be a very happy and contented person. No one gets everything in this world—sometimes you get success, and sometimes your family or children do. In the end what matters is your happiness, not your bitterness. There is no good place in this entire world for a bitter and jealous person. Your reaction to any situation decides what kind of person you are from within.

Refreshed old memories by giving example of childhood friendship and divorce

Kapil Dev also appeared a little emotional in the last part of the interview. Recalling the early days of him and Yograj, he said that we both are childhood friends, we grew up playing cricket together in the streets of Chandigarh and we have spent very beautiful times together. Later our paths parted. Giving a unique example, Kapil said that even if someone gets divorced after marriage, a person should not forget the good and beautiful moments of that marriage. Similarly, I also want to remember only the good days spent with Yograj. If Yograj ever wants to come forward and hug me, I will have no objection to that.
