Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh has shared his opinion on a year-old controversy that involved KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya, two India cricket's regular members.
Hardik and Rahul were called out for their misogynist and racists comments on a popular TV show, 'Koffee With Karan'. They even got removed from the team and India cricket fraternity had slammed them for the comments.

Yuvraj has now questioned the team culture and atmosphere the budding cricketers are getting into. Commenting on the controversy, he said, "What happened with KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya, we could not even think of it because we have so much of respect for our seniors. We knew that our seniors would tell us not to do such things."
"These boys do what they want to, after a little success, actually it's not their fault also as IPL contracts give them so much of money even without playing for India. They get distracted and just don't know how to handle that money."
The ex-cricketer went on to blame the parties and social media for the controversies.
"You need seniors and coaches, you should explain to them and ask what is important, playing for India and working hard on the field. Sachin Tendulkar told me to keep performing and everything will follow," Yuvraj told Rohit Sharma.
