NEW DELHI: With his witty remarks, former Indian cricketer Surinder Khanna added a humorous twist to the ongoing controversy surrounding Yograj Singh<\/a>\u2019s startling comments about Indian cricket legend Kapil Dev<\/a>.
Addressing a query regarding the matter, Khanna remarked, \u201cHe says anything, he\u2019s our friend. Even Kapil Dev knows he\u2019s a bit of a crack and speaks without thinking. That was 1983, and now is 2025, my friend. Hi Yog, don\u2019t do this stuff (laughs).\u201d<\/p>\n

Khanna\u2019s light-hearted reaction comes in the wake of Yograj Singh\u2019s claims that he once intended to shoot Kapil Dev after being dropped from the Indian team.

On the podcast Unfiltered by Samdish, Yograj alleged that Kapil\u2019s decision to exclude him from the playing XI left him furious. Yograj, who played one Test and six ODIs between 1980-81, claimed that only the presence of Kapil\u2019s mother stopped him from carrying out his drastic plan to put a “bullet” through Kapil Dev’s head.
\u201cWhen Kapil Dev became captain, he dropped me for no reason,\u201d Yograj said. \u201cI told him, \u2018I want to put a bullet through your head, but I\u2019m not doing it because your pious mother is standing here.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

Yograj explained that this event marked his exit from cricket and led him to focus on shaping the career of his son, Yuvraj Singh<\/a>, who became one of India\u2019s finest all-rounders.

Kapil Dev, however, brushed off the controversy with a composed response.
When a reporter questioned him about Yograj\u2019s claims on Monday on the sidelines of the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) press conference at the Delhi Golf Club, Kapil playfully asked, \u201cKaun hai? Kiski baat kar rahe ho? (Who is he? Whom are you talking about?)\u201d before acknowledging the name and responding with a casual, \u201cAcchaa, aur kuch? (Well, anything else?)\u201d
