In a recent conversation with former cricketer Taruwar Kohli on the 'Find a Way' podcast Yograj emphasized the importance of backing senior players like Kohli and Rohit who have faced criticism during their rough patches.

"If you make me the coach of the Indian team, I will use these same players to transform it into a side that will be unbeatable for ages," Yograj Singh declared confidently. 

He expressed frustration with the idea of dropping players after a dip in form, stating, "Who will bring out their capabilities? Because people are always ready to throw them out of the team—drop Rohit Sharma or drop Kohli—but why? They are going through a rough patch, and I want to tell my kids that I am with you."

"I'll tell them let's play Ranji Trophy, or I will make Rohit run 20 km. Nobody does that. These players are diamonds. You don't throw them out. I will be like their father. I have never differentiated between Yuvraj and the others, not even Dhoni. But what is wrong is wrong."

In addition to his comments on Rohit and Kohli, Yograj spoke highly of Arjun Tendulkar the son of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. "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, and he scored a century on his Ranji Trophy debut. Did anybody realise?" he said, highlighting Arjun's untapped potential.
