Yograj Singh: Shocking Exposure to Threaten Kapil Dev
Former Indian cricketer Yograj Singh had a shocking confession to make by revealing a very dramatic incident that had happened during his past life involving Kapil Dev, the then 1983 World Cup-winning captain. Yograj, father of the all-round legend Yuvraj Singh, narrated how he went to Kapil Dev’s residence, armed with a pistol.
It began after Yograj’s dismissal from the Indian team was followed by no less an experience than getting knocked down. Beaten along with his wife at Kapil’s door outside his home, he explained to Unfiltered by Samdish about how “I told him, ‘I want to put a bullet through your head, but I won’t because of your pious mother.'”.
Yograj further revealed how this match had been the day he decided to leave cricket and work for his son’s future. His son played 402 matches for India, and was one of the important players in the Indian team during the T20 World Cup win in 2007 and ODI World Cup win in 2011.

The Indian stock market witnessed a major crash on January 13, with the Sensex falling 677 points to 76,701.69 and the Nifty dropping 213 points to 23,218.60. The decline was attributed to poor performance in real estate, financial services, and consumer durables sectors.
Adding to the woes, the rupee hit a historic low of 86.3537 against the US dollar due to a strengthening dollar backed by positive job data in the United States. Analysts warn of continued volatility in the coming weeks.
