Mumbai: Former Indian cricketer and star all-rounder Yuvraj Singh’s father, Yograj Singh, launched a tirade against Mahendra Singh Dhoni, saying “I would have slapped Dhoni, had I been a journalist.” Following the verbal assault from his father, Yuvraj Singh has taken to Twitter to issue a clarification of sorts.
