But despite his comeback in Indian squad, his father Yograj Singh is once again in news for taking a dig at MS Dhoni, who recently stepped down as India's limited-overs captain.


Recently, speaking with Maharashtra Times, Yograj said, “Yuvraj is in the team because Dhoni is no longer the captain. I had said this couple of years ago that he would be back in the team once Dhoni wasn’t the captain. It’s proved true now,” said a stern Yograj.


Dhoni's last match as Indian captain wasn't a memorable for the Men in Blue, as the visitors clinched the first warm-up match by three wickets.
