‘Change the breed’: Yograj Singh’s marriage advice to son Yuvraj Singh before he married Hazel Keech | Entertainment-others News

5 min readNew DelhiUpdated: May 15, 2026 07:43 PM IST Former Indian cricketer-actor Yograj Singh has always spoken his mind unfiltered, often causing significant controversies. Even his son, cricketer Yuvraj Singh, doesn’t live with him, and chose to move to Mumbai with his wife, actor Hazel Keech. The couple has two children together – son Orion (born 2022), and daughter Aura (born 2023). However, before tying the knot with Hazel, Yuvraj’s father Yograj had already told him to get married to an ‘Irish or English’ girl. In an earlier interview, Yograj had opened up about the cricketer’s marriage to her. During a chat with Krishnank Atrey on his YouTube channel, he revealed that the society pressured him to get his son married early on, but he opposed that. “People wanted me to get Yuvraj married off in his 20s. I said, ‘Is he old already?’ When he turned 38, I told him, ‘Now you can think about it. I can’t choose for you. It’s your life, so find your partner.’ But I did request him …

How Mukul Choudhary’s father didn’t allow a cricket dream to extinguish, despite loans in crores and being jailed for property disputes | Cricket News

The phone hasn’t stopped buzzing for Dalip Choudhary since the time his son Mukul marked his arrival for Lucknow Super Giants with a match-winning unbeaten 54 off 27 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. LSG were struggling at 104/5 when Mukul landed at the crease, in pursuit of Kolkata’s 181/4. He would help rattle off the remaining 78 runs in the next 11 overs. Dalip remembers the day he had decided that if he had two sons he would ensure both became cricketers, such was his love for the game. One year after his marriage, Mukul was born, followed by a daughter and Dalip went on to fulfill every Indian father’s dream, to make his son a cricketer. Dalip sacrificed his dreams of cracking the Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) and worked in real estate, before enrolling Mukul into the SBS Cricket Academy at Sikar which is 80 kilometers from Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan. Sikar is from where some of India’s tallest giants in basketball had emerged from owing to their physicality, but cricket needed …

Yuvraj Singh apologises to MS Dhoni, Kapil Dev for father Yograj’s comments | Cricket News

3 min readApr 3, 2026 06:12 PM IST Yuvraj Singh has issued an apology to former India captains Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni for captains that have been made by his father Yograj about the two players. Yograj, who played one Test and six ODIs for India, was a contemporary of Kapil while Yuvraj was a longtime teammate of Dhoni, famously being an integral part of the Indian teams led by the latter that won the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 World Cup. “I do feel sad and I would like to apologise to Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni for these comments,” said Yuvraj on Sports Tak. “Kapil paaji, whatever is said and done, was a great player and great captain for India. I don’t what their camaraderie was, I was not even born. I have played with MS Dhoni and I have expressed what my relationship is with him. But whatever my dad said about them, I have told him that it’s not ok. ALSO READ | IPL 2026: Why pre-season practice with …

The day Yograj Singh knew Yuvraj was special

The day Yograj Singh knew Yuvraj was special

When people ask me about Yuvraj Singh’s 2007 T20 World Cup heroics, my mind wanders to a day when he was just two and a half years old. It was months after the demise of my father. I got a plastic bat and asked my mother to bowl to the then two-and-a-half-year-old Yuvraj in our drawing room in Chandigarh. Within minutes, Yuvi hit the ball with such ferocity with his backlift that it broke one of the windows. He was in a bathrobe kind of dress and was barely wearing anything below. He still has a photograph from that day but does not show it (laughs). That day only, I told my mother, “Sade ghar Sir Garfield Sobers paida hoya hai” (Sir Garfield Sobers has been born at our home). As a cricketer and coach, I am only a fan of three players: Sir Garfield Sobers, Viv Richards and Yuvraj Singh. While Viv Richards was very hard-hitting, both Sir Garfield Sobers and Yuvraj Singh were like poetry on the cricket pitch. The kind of elegance …

But my well-wishers say, ‘Let it go,’ so I let it go,” he said. “Basically, the film I did happened at a time when I wasn’t doing well at school. My dad was like, ‘Just come with me on the shoot. Stick to cricket, but also do this.’ So I went along with him, and the role I played was the childhood version of my dad.” ALSO READ: How Hazel Keech helped Yuvraj Singh break his father Yograj’s cycle of strict parenting Watching …

Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh was his first coach. Yograj, who continues to coach kids and also work as an actor in Punjabi films, recently opened up about the time when he started training a young Yuvraj against his family’s wishes. He recalled that Yuvraj was just 5-6 years old when he threw his medals and skates out of the car as he wanted to prepare a cricketing champion who would, one day, take revenge for his father. Yograj Singh said, ‘I will shoot myself’ In a chat shared on the YouTube channel Sports Launchpad By Saurav Yaduvanshi, Yograj Singh, Yograj recalled an incident from the time when Yuvraj was just a few months old. “One day, I was very sad, crying a lot and I was thinking what god had done to me. At 2-3 am, I picked up Yuvi and I hugged him. I thought that if I just die like this, it will mean nothing. Even my family will say that this man did nothing. I placed Yuvi in front of Guru …

Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh says he is ‘ready to die’, reveals strangers feed him after wife, son left home: ‘I cried in front of God’ | Entertainment-others News

Before becoming a popular name in the world of sports, cricketer Yuvraj Singh went through a difficult personal phase during his childhood. His father Yograj Singh, known for his blunt statements, has often opened up about the constant fights in their family and how the former India all rounder was the first one to realise the same. In a recent interview, former actor-cricketer Yograj revealed that the biggest shock of his life was when his wife and son left him. He also admitted that he gets food from strangers everyday and is done with his life now. During a conversation with The Vintage Studio, he shared that when his first wife Shabnam and son Yuvraj Singh left home, he got married again. “It was God’s play, what was written for me.

Then, I got married again, had two kids, they also left for the US. A few films also …

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli Urged To Take Retirement U-Turn; Told “Not The Time To Think About Themselves”

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli Urged To Take Retirement U-Turn; Told “Not The Time To Think About Themselves”

Former India cricketer Yograj Singh said that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who retired from Test cricket earlier this month, must revoke their decision to save the country’s red-ball cricket. The retirements of Rohit and Kohli leave the side without its most senior batters on the upcoming England tour, where India are scheduled to play a five-match Test series starting on June 20. The 67-year-old former cricketer, who has coached current players like Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma besides his son Yuvraj Singh, added that Kohli still has more years to give to cricket. “Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli must return from retirement to save Indian Test cricket. This is not the time to think about themselves – it’s about the nation, the fans, and the deep emotions people have for the game. Virat still has at least ten years of cricket left in him. As for Rohit, if he comes to me, I will make sure he gets back in peak fitness,” Yograj told IANS on Tuesday. The veteran cricketer said the …

‘Greatest players should play till 50 years of age’

‘Greatest players should play till 50 years of age’

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have announced their retirement from the longer format of the game in the space of a week, just ahead of the marquee England series. With both the veterans exiting in a short space of time, it creates an experience void on the side. However, the form of both players has been on the downward curve for a while in red-ball format, and the series against New Zealand (at home) and Australia (away) have seen some unpleasant results. Yuvraj Singh’s father, Yograj, though, believes that both of them still have something to offer. “Virat is a big player, so it will obviously be a loss. When many players were either removed, retired, or coerced into retirement in 2011, the team fell apart and has still not stood back up. But everyone’s time comes. I feel a lot of cricket is still left in Virat and Rohit,” Yograj told ANI. “I told Yuvi (Yuvraj Singh) that it was not the right move when he was retiring. One should walk away from the …
