Former India cricketer Yograj Singh, also the father of talismanic all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, recently made a bold claim regarding Arjun Tendulkar. Known for having a reputation as a strict yet effective mentor, Yograj strongly believes that Arjun Tendulkar possesses the ability to emerge as one of the world’s finest batters. During a recent podcast discussion, he expressed his view that Arjun’s natural talent is being underutilised in his pursuit of becoming a bowler, arguing that his true strength lies in batting.
Yograj also recounted an instance where he challenged the opinions of Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh after Arjun scored a Ranji Trophy century for Goa. While both former cricketers see Arjun as a bowling all-rounder, Yograj insists he should instead be recognised as a batting all-rounder, given his capabilities with the bat.
“If Arjun Tendulkar comes to me now, I will make him the world’s greatest batter in six months. No one knows the potential he has with the bat. He was with me for 12 days, he scored a century in the Ranji Trophy,” Yograj Singh said on Taruwar Kohli’s YouTube channel.
