Yuvraj Singh's Instagram Live with Rohit Sharma was a hit on social media but fans have now taken offence to one of the comments made by the former India all-rounder about Yuzvendra Chahal during the chat.
Yuvraj had joined Rohit for an Insta live session in April during which Yuzvendra Chahal's name came up in their discussion. Chahal is one of the funniest cricketers on social media and regularly gets trolled by his teammates.
Talking about Chahal's TikTok videos, Yuvraj jokingly said: "Yeh b***gi log ko kaam nahi hai yeh Yuzi aur isko (Kuldeep)."
“Yuzi ko dekha kya video daala hai apni family ke saath. Maine usko wahi bola ki apne baap ko nacha raha hai, pagal toh nahi hai tu,” Rohit replied.
The short clip has gone viral on social media with 'Yuvraj Singh maafi mango' one of the leading trends on Twitter.
The comments might have been made as a joke but it left a bad taste in the mouths of the fans as they took offence to it.
We Respect you @YUVSTRONG12 and everyday as a good human as a great cricketer but what you have said is really not acceptable.

Hey @YUVSTRONG12 , is this your upbringing to use castiest abusive word Bh***i ? And laugh at it? What if your kids also learn this?

Hey @ImRo45 , you laughed at it when Yuvi says it? Shame on you both.
Apologize now Both#___#Apologise_Rohit
#___ Many people oppose racism in America, but support casteism in India. In America, they want American people to treat Indians well. But in the country, they do not treat Dalits and backwards well.

Yuvraj Singh's thinking is very poor. It has used very derogatory words. How long will Dalits have to face such mental oppression.#_#___#___#___ pic.twitter.com/LPaSlDsraO

Chahal has been actively posting TikTok videos during the lockdown with his family members and also regularly gatecrashes the Instagram lives between his India teammates by posting funny comments on them.
Captain Virat Kohli was the recent player to troll Chahal for his antics during his live conversation with the leg-spinner and some kids.
"Who cut your hair?" Kohli asked Chahal, who said: "Bhaiyya my didi and I cut them together."
"Acha. Mujhe laga tere dogs tere peeche path gaye (I thought your dogs went after you)," Kohli was quick to point out as everybody involved in the chat room burst out laughing.
