Xtra Time Web Desk: Yograj Singh, the father of one of India's finest cricketers Yuvraj Singh, has introduced one more debate with his sexist and inappropriate comment showcasing his misogynistic mindset.

In a podcast, the former cricketer found saying that the Hindi language sounds as if a 'woman is talking'. For Yograj, while it is fine for women to speak Hindi, men should prefer speaking languages like Punjabi which has a bolder aura to it.

"Mujhe to hindi language aise lagti hai jaise koi aurat bol rahi ho (To me, the Hindi language feels like a woman is speaking)" Yograj told the YouTuber.

"Jab aurat bolti hai to buhut acha lagta hai, jab mard hindi bolta hai to aisa lagta hai ke kya bol raha hai ye kon aadmi hai. Mujhe wo difference lagta hai (When a woman speaks Hindi, it sounds really pleasant, but when a man speaks Hindi, it feels like, 'What is he saying? Who is this person?' I sense that difference)" the former cricketer said.

Claiming that women shouldn't be made the head of households as they 'destroy it', he said "Wife will destroy your house if you give her power. Sorry to say, Indira Gandhi ran this country and destroyed it. Give them respect and love, but never give them power."

The comment did fit with social media users as they slammed him for the sexist remarks. Many called out him for his comments mentioning it as 'disgraceful', 'disrespectful to his own mother as well'.
