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

Published by Parlour 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 …

3 min readApr 9, 2026 04:12 PM IST There are arguably no bigger terrors for batters in the modern-day game than facing Jasprit Bumrah. Over the last few years, the India pacer has become one of the most lethal bowlers of the current era, someone who has earned the respect of batters in all formats of the sport. But, now Yuvraj Singh has opened up about how tantalising it was to face off against a 16-year-old Bumrah in the nets. Yuvraj, who was a guest on The Overlap Cricket hosted by Michael Vaughan recently, narrated the incident of facing Bumrah back in 2013. “When I was trying to make a comeback in the Indian team after battling cancer — I was trying to get back into cricket — and Bumrah was about 16 years old and he was bowling rapid in the nets. And I was like, ‘I want this kid out of the nets’ and ‘stop bowling to me’. I was like, ‘Kid, stop! Whoever you are.’ Because I was just trying to make …

4 min readUpdated: Apr 3, 2026 08:15 PM IST The Indian team deserves more time to get into the groove in Test cricket considering it remains a relatively inexperienced side but their losses at home shows the players need to play more domestic cricket, said former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. India have been on a stunning run in white-ball cricket, winning two T20 World Cups and a Champions Trophy on the trot. However, that run has coincided with India’s dominance in Test cricket at home ending in spectacular fashion, suffering whitewashes to New Zealand and South Africa. “A few of our senior players retired and in India, for tackling spin and winning Tests, you have to play more domestic cricket,” said Yuvraj on Sports Tak. “We are not getting out to spinners who are absolutely world class. They are not in the same league as Shane Warne, Muralidharan, Harbhajan, Ashwin or Anil bhai. We need to improve our game against spin and that will happen only when we play more domestic games.” Yuvraj said that he …

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 …

Why pre-season practice with Yuvraj Singh could be the ‘Midas touch’ for Rishabh Pant

Published by Webster

2 min readUpdated: Mar 23, 2026 12:14 AM IST In a bid to make up for lost time and opportunities in white-ball cricket, Rishabh Pant has seemingly undergone a rapid transformation in his physique and cricket over the last few months. Pant, who has been overlooked from India’s T20I squad over the last two years and demoted to the back-up wicket-keeper in ODI cricket, is gearing up for a pivotal IPL 2026 season with the Lucknow Super Giants. The LSG captain was signed at Rs 27.50 crore last year, but his season ended with middling figures, compounded by the captaincy tag that had appeared to bog him down. Before arriving in Chennai — where Lucknow have set up their pre-season base at former India bowling coach Bharat Arun’s academy, Coaching Beyond — Pant spent five days in Mumbai working with Yuvraj Singh, the Indian Express had reported last week. The sessions with Yuvraj, who has played a key role in the development of Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, were focused on the basics: retaining shape, …
