New Delhi: Distancing himself from Yograj Singh's angry outbursts against Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kapil Dev, World Cup-winning former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has said that the controversial remarks of his father were "not okay" and he "sincerely apologises" for them.

In a podcast interview with 'Sports Tak', Yuvraj addressed the contentious issue of his father blaming Dhoni for his ouster from the national team besides claiming to have abused Kapil on selection issues in the past.

"I would like to apologise to Kapil and M S Dhoni about the comments because Kapil paaji has been a great player for India. What kind of relationship they (Yograj and Kapil) had, I don't know, I wasn't even born," Yuvraj said.

"And I have played with Ms Dhoni and had expectations about my relationship with him. But what dad said about him, I have told him that it's not okay.
