Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has made a bold revelation about not getting much support from MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. Yuvraj revealed that he had more fond memories while playing under current BCCI President Sourav Ganguly than the other skippers.

Yuvraj made his debut against Kenya but didn’t get a chance to bat against them. He played his first innings against Australia in the same tournament and scored 84.
In an interview with Sportstar, the former India all-rounder said, “I have played under Sourav [Ganguly] and had a lot of support from him. I didn’t have that kind of support from Mahi [MS Dhoni] and Virat [Kohli].”
