Yograj Singh reveals the upheavals in his personal life
Yograj Singh, former Indian cricketer and father of legendary Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, has dedicated his life to cricket and is mainly thrust into the limelight for his fierce personality and unfiltered view of Indian cricket.
The former fast bowler, for the first time, showed an emotional side of himself and spoke about how he has been struggling with loneliness for years, and also revealed that he is “ready to die” and doesn’t have much left in his life.
The turmoil is a public secret, as the 62-year-old had often spoken about the constant arguments within his family and the fact that his son was the first to realize it. He also said in a recent interview that the biggest shock of his life came when his wife and son left him.
This should have happened to me, it happened for good,” said Yograj Singh.
Yograj Singh said, “When things got to the point where Yuvi and his mother left me, it gave me the biggest shock. The woman to whom I devoted my whole life, my entire youth, can also leave me and go away? A lot of things have been destroyed like that.”
“I asked God why all this was happening when I had done everything right for everyone. I may have made mistakes, but I am an innocent man, I did nothing wrong to anyone. I cried before God, he took me out of this sea,” he broke down.
Yograj Singh added that he later got married for the second time, but even that phase left him when life took him back to square one, from which he once wanted to escape.
“It was God’s game, which was written for me. There was a lot of anger and a feeling of revenge. Then cricket came into my life, was abandoned, made Yuvi play cricket, he played and left. Then I remarried, had two children, they also left for the United States.”
“A few films were also released, time passed and returned to the point where it all started. I asked myself, “What did I do all this for?” Do you have anyone with you now? This should have happened to me, it happened for real,” he shared.
Singh also revealed his recent lonely evenings
When the interviewer asked him how he spends his evenings with his current family, the former cricketer mentioned that he spends his evenings entirely in solitude as there is no one with him at home.
“I sit alone in the evening and have no one at home. I rely on strangers to feed me, sometimes one person, sometimes another. But I don’t bother anyone. Someone or the others get me food if I’m hungry. I kept housekeepers and cooks; they served and left.”
“I love my mother, my children, my daughter-in-law, my grandchildren and everyone in the family. But I don’t ask for anything. I am ready to die. My life is complete; whenever God wants, he can take me with him. I am so grateful to God, I pray and he keeps giving,” concluded Yograj Singh.
