Virat Kohli is the biggest ‘Kanjoos’ (miser) in the team, says Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh is currently not a part of the Indian team and so he is busy promoting his charity foundation called ‘YouWeCan’ which helps people to fight against cancer by creating awareness about cancer, its prevention and raising funds. He recently launched his fashion line with the same name to raise more funds to help people against the dangerous disease.

So this time the  batting star went to Radio Mirchi for an interview and the Indian star revealed a lot of interesting stories. The interviewer was RJ Suren who asked the batsman 20 questions and the condition for Yuvraj was that he had to be honest with the answers.

So here are some interesting questions that the southpaw was asked:

Who is the most dangerous player on the field:
Yuvraj:  
He had a similar colour like yours. I am not being a racist but he was scary and very dangerous bowler, Muttiah Muralitharan. So, every time he used to come and bowl, he would just go very dangerous with his looks and he would  also spin the ball very much. He was almost unplayable every time I played him. There were many game plans on how to tackle him but he always got the better of us. I remember when he retired, I went up to him and said thank you Murali sir for retiring.

Which is the most abusive word you have ever heard on the field:
Yuvraj: 
We have heard a lot. When I started playing, players from Australia and England abused us a lot, including Andrew Flintoff before hitting six sixes and I cannot talk about those abusive words because of the fans and listeners.

Biggest miser in the Indian team:
Yuvraj: 
There have been many misers in our team, especially the seniors and I cannot     reveal their names because this is a very sensitive issue.I don’t how to explain. It’s           like this is yours and this is mine, you will pay for this one and I will pay for that             one. You know, in our Punjabi culture, we don’t have that, if we are going out for             eating something, then one person pays but some people are different and currently, Virat Kohli is the biggest miser. So, every time we go out, it’s me always paying and I have to force him to give the money. Ashish Nehra gets miserable at times. Usually he is very generous but sometimes. When he got married, Nehra  used to say, please try to understand, I have to take care of my wife and kids, I cannot spend much.It’s not like they are miser but it’s just a fun banter between us guys like why aren’t you paying.
When asked to name some senior players who were miser, he said:Among the senior players whom I can name is Javagal Srinath. After playing so much of cricket with him, he finally gave us a treat and we uploaded that picture on Twitter as well by writing, thank you Srinath Ji, for the treat after 15-years.

Biggest spender in the Indian team:
Yuvraj:
I might prank with  Ashish Nehra but i think he is pretty generous. I cannot recall many names. Rohit Sharma is pretty generous.

Who is the most angry player:
Yuvraj: Of course our angry young man Virat Kohli. I get pretty angry too but i control      myself. Dada used to get very angry when he was the captain. Anil Kumble had a             hot head too. Harbhajan Singh and Mohammad Kaif had to come under fire when we          were playing under him. But it was limited to on the field and off the field he is a  great guy.

One thing you wouldn’t dare to say to Sachin Tendulkar:
Yuvraj: 
Once we jokingly called him grandpa and thereafter he played a lot of pranks on us. He is very naughty and always kept us on the backfoot.

Did you ever have a chat with Stuart Broad after the six sixes:
Yuvraj: 
His father was a match referee in that match and after the match he came to me  next day and said that thanks you for playing with my son’s career. I said that i got         hit for five sixes and i know how it feels. So he said i want you to sign a shirt for             him. Then i signed the jersey in which i hit Stuart for five sixes and wished him all            the best for his future and look at him today, he is one of the best fast bowlers in the world.

Well, the interview had some more interesting stories. Check out the full interview:
