'Woh koyla hi hai' - Yograj Singh sheds light on student Arjun Tendulkar's talent

Yograj Singh asserted that Arjun Tendulkar could become a great player if he receives proper guidance from someone capable. The legendary Sachin Tendulkar's son has trained under Yograj to hone his skills.

Yograj, who is the father of the legendary Yuvraj Singh, coached the former India all-rounder from a young age, adopting strict methods. The hard work bore fruit as Yuvraj went on to become one of India's best-performing players in white-ball cricket, especially in ICC events.

However, Yograj is often in the limelight for some of his blunt comments on former India cricketers like MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev. In a recent interview on the Switch YouTube channel, the former India pacer said, "I won't forgive MS Dhoni. He should look at his face in the mirror. He is a very big cricketer, but what he has done against my son, everything is coming out now; it can never be forgiven in life."

Notably, Yuvraj had made his India debut before Dhoni and was also appointed as the vice-captain to Rahul Dravid. However, when Dravid stepped down, the BCCI decided to appoint Dhoni as the leader of the Men in Blue.

"Arjun Tendulkar came to you for training. How do you see his future?" the anchor asked in the same interview.

"Have you seen diamond in a coal mine? Woh Koyla hi hai..nikalo patthar hi hai, kisi tarashgir ke haath me dalo to chamak ke duniya ko kohinoor ban jata hai (It is coal that is rock when taken out from a mine, but if it is given in proper hands, it goes on to become Kohinoor.) It is priceless. But if that same diamond reaches a person who does not know its worth, he destroys it. I don't say it myself that Yograj Singh is a great character, Yuvraj Singh says it, 'there is magic in my dad's hand, he made me what I am.' Earlier, I was abused 'Hitler, Dragon Singh, I hate my father'. Everybody hated me in my home. My relatives said, I should not have been a father. But he walked his path. And by God's Grace you got Yuvraj Singh," Yograj replied.
