Yuvraj Singh offers clarification after fans slam him for supporting Shahid Afridi Foundation

Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has offered his clarification regarding his donation to the Shahid Afridi foundation. The former took to Twitter to clarify his stance, which he thought was blown out of proportion.

The 2011 World Cup winner had put up a post requesting the fans to contribute to the Afridi foundation but his post immediately received slack from the public. The Shahid Afridi Foundation's campaign has received support from former cricketers Shoaib Akhtar and Wahab Riaz.

Today, Yuvraj released a statement and explained that all he wanted to do was help the people who were affected in the given crisis, regardless of borders. He further added that he would continue his fight against the virus for the sake of humanity.

I really don't understand how a message to help the most vulnerable gets blown out of proportion! All i tried to achieve via that message was to help peple in our respective countries by providing healthcare, my intention was not to hurt anyone's feelings. I'm an Indian and i will always bleed blue and will always stand for humanity. jai hind.
