Recently, cricketer, Yuvraj Singh addressed the bullying claims made by Rohit Sharma on the show, 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'.
The Great Indian Kapil Show has returned with its fourth season on OTT giant, Netflix. The latest episode featured legendary cricketers, Virender Sehwag, Mohammad Kaif and Yuvraj Singh. While the episode was filled with laughter, nostalgia and candid stories from their early days of cricket, the episode took a different turn, when Yuvraj Singh addressed the bullying claims made by Rohit Sharma.
One of the major highlights of the episode was when host, Kapil Sharma brought up an old statement of Rohit Sharma. Kapil Sharma played a throwback video of Rohit Sharma, in which he was seen recalling his first meet with Yuvraj Singh. In the video, Rohit Sharma was quoted as saying:
"When I first went in the cricket bus, I didn’t know they had fixed seats for seniors. I accidentally sat on Yuvraj Singh’s seat and the look I got! I never sat there again."
Addressing the ‘bullying’ claims, cricketer, Yuvraj Singh shared that he was very sweet and polite to Rohit Sharma. He further explained that he nicely told Rohit Sharma to move from the seat that was reserved for him. Yuvraj also recalled the early days of his career and shared that he was also scared of seniors when he first joined. In his words:
"It’s not like that. I nicely told him that it’s my seat. When I joined first, even I was scared of my seniors, so I understand."
