Yograj singh

Former India batsman Yuvraj Singh on Saturday distanced himself from remarks made by his father Yograj during a speech at a farmers' protest in Delhi-NCR. Yuvraj, who celebrated his 39th birthday on Saturday, also said that he hopes for a "swift resolution" to the talks between the government and the farmers, whom he called the "lifeblood of our nation".

"Birthdays are an opportunity to fulfill a wish or desire and this birthday, rather than celebrating, I only wish and pray for a swift resolution of the ongoing talks between our farmers and our government," said Yuvraj in a statement he posted on his social media handles.
