World Cup: When Virat and Shastri kept silence, then Dhoni told Yuvraj the bitter truth that he will not get a place in the 2019 World Cup.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni), one of the most successful captains in the history of Indian cricket, is known for his outspokenness and frankness. Recently, veteran all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has made a sensational revelation that how there were clouds of uncertainty about his career before the 2019 World Cup. Yuvi told that when he was not getting any clear answer from the team management and selectors, it was Dhoni who made him aware of the real situation. Clarity was not received from Virat and Shastri. Recalling the old days during a podcast, Yuvraj Singh said that after the 2017 Champions Trophy, he was doubtful about his place in the team. According to Yuvi, the then captain Virat Kohli and head coach Ravi Shastri did not give him any clear information about his future plans. Yuvi said, “When I spoke to Virat and Ravi Bhai, there was no clarity in their words. They just said that we are watching, but there was no concrete answer.” Dhoni showed the mirror: ‘The selectors are not watching you’ When Yuvi felt disappointed from all sides, then he turned to his old teammate and former captain MS Dhoni. Yuvi revealed, “Dhoni told me in clear words that the selectors are no longer looking at you for the 2019 World Cup. He showed me the reality and told me that the team management now wants to focus on the young players.” Yuvi further said that Dhoni had also told him that he had done as much as he could for him, but now the decision is not in his hands. Yuvraj Singh told that after the 2011 World Cup, it was not easy for him to make a comeback after fighting a deadly disease like cancer. In 2017, he played a historic inning of 150 runs against England in Cuttack, after which he felt that he would be a part of the 2019 mission. However, fitness test (yo-yo test) and age requirement made his path difficult. Yuvi admitted that Dhoni’s advice helped him mentally prepare for retirement. Unbreakable relationship between two legends: Rumors often keep floating on social media about the relationship between Dhoni and Yuvi, but this revelation has made it clear that there is a deep sense of respect between the two. Yuvi finally said, “What Dhoni told me was bitter, but true. At least he did not lie to me. As a player, you just want to know the truth so that you can take your decision.” Let us tell you that Yuvi finally said goodbye to international cricket in June 2019.
