Former chief selector Sandeep Patil has refuted claims by Yograj Singh that MS Dhoni was responsible for Yuvraj Singh's ouster from the Indian team. Patil stated on record that Dhoni never requested Yuvraj's exclusion and fully trusted the selection committee's decisions. He acknowledged a father's emotions but emphasised the blame was misplaced.

Former cricketer Sandeep Patil reveals he was set to share screen space with Amitabh Bachchan in 'Kabhi Ajnabee The' before the star's near-fatal 'Coolie' accident. Patil recounts how Jaya Bachchan informed him of the incident, preventing their planned Bangalore shoot. Bachchan himself later described the traumatic recovery, grappling with his body's drastic change after the life-threatening injury.
