Yuvraj Singh has been one of the best players of Team India. Due to his all-round performance, he was always a big match winner of the team. He played an important role in the victory of T20 World Cup and ODI World Cup. But in 2011, his career began to be in danger due to cancer. However, he defeated this deadly disease and regained his place in the team. But could not play for long. Now former Indian team cricketer Robin Uthappa has surprised everyone by blaming Virat Kohli for ending his career early. In a recent interview, he made many surprising claims about Kohli.

Yuvraj had requested

After recovery from cancer, Yuvraj Singh's fitness was no longer the same as before. He was struggling a little. Regarding this, Robin Uthappa revealed in an interview to Lallantop that 'Yuvraj had requested to reduce the points for the fitness test. Then the team management did not show any mercy towards him. Virat used to be the leader at that time, everything was done on his instructions. But he did not help Yuvraj in any way. However, Yuvi later passed the fitness test and made his place. But he was dropped after a bad tournament. Then no one ever asked him back.

Let us tell you that Yuvraj Singh had failed to perform consistently after returning to the team after defeating cancer. However, as soon as he arrived, he scored a century in the ODI against England. But he could not leave his mark in the 2017 Champions Trophy. His bat remained silent throughout the tournament. After this, Kohli never gave him a place in the team. He was kept out of the 2019 ODI World Cup team. Yuvraj had told that Dhoni had made it clear that the management is no longer looking at him. Only after this his career was over and he had announced his retirement.

'Virat did not give a chance'

Uthappa recently claimed that Kohli was the main person behind Yuvraj's ouster from the team. According to him, such a big player should have been given more opportunities. Uthappa said, 'You have to maintain a standard. But sometimes a player like Yuvraj needs to deviate from the rules. You have seen him struggle and then become their captain. He has not only defeated cancer but has also won many tournaments. Therefore he should have got some time. It is not always about results. How are you treating your team and players?
