Yuvraj Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal

The celebrities need to be careful while commenting on any matter or anything in the social media era these days. Even a small mistake can make things go haywire and it has happened before as well.

This time Yuvraj Singh is at the receiving end for unintentionally making a casteist remark on Yuzvendra Chahal while on Instagram live with Rohit Sharma.

The conversation between Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj Singh goes as, “Ye bhangi log ko Yuzi ko koi kaam nahi hai. Yuzi ne dekha kya video daala apni family ke saath.” (This roughly translates to – These ‘bhangi’ people Yuzi has no work. Did you see his video with his family?)

Bhangi is referred to a sweeper or scavenger being a member of one of the lower untouchable castes.

This has led to the Twitterati targetting Yuvraj Singh on Tuesday. Surprisingly, the video has gone viral after almost two months of their conversation.
