Stones pelted at Yuvraj Singh's home

After India suffered a massive defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka in the ICC World Twenty20 finals on Sunday evening, Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh's house in the Manimajra locality of Chandigarh was pelted with stones, according to Amar Ujala.

Police immediately rushed to the cricketer's home to pacify the angry crowd that had gathered outside.

Yuvraj scored a painfully slow 11 off 21 balls, which drastically reduced the pace of the Indian innings towards the end. Sri Lanka went on to win the match by 6 wickets with over 2 overs to spare.

Yuvraj Singh, who recovered from cancer and made a comeback to the Indian side, has not looked his old aggressive self for quite some time, including in the World Twenty20 and other tournaments in the recent past.

In the past too, irate fans have attacked the homes of cricketers including that of the skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. (DNA)

Sonali De Silva Monday, 07 April 2014 08:10 AM

What sore losers. This just goes to show the maturity of the average Indian. We should be proud to be Sri Lankans. May the triple gem bless this country and its people.

Are you trying to say Sri Lankan's are gentleman? Joke of the year.

[quote name="manoj"]If Yuvraj lived in Sri Lanka and played for India still the Sri Lankans would not have pelted a single stone at his house even if SL lost the game.

India's literacy rate is 70% while ours is 95%

And the 25% gap makes a world of a difference

Please learn from Sri Lanka

Please treat Yuvi, a great batsman recovering from cancer, better... he deserves better

If Lanka appreciates Yuvraj's cricket despite his being in a rival team.. why can't the Indians do the same to their son of soil?

Cricket Fans in Sri Lanka[/quote] this is the position of all sri lankans in this case. i am sorry Yuvi. but all sri lankans are behind you bro. god bless you.

Public Monday, 07 April 2014 12:13 PM

Thanks to cricket loving fans of Sri Lanka! We know how to treat our team. We always think that there is always another chance for every thing, if not today tomorrow might be our time. One can not win or loose all the time.

We have to hire some Indians and place them at the Ranils residance once the next Provincial election is over

Heros become zeros someday, that,s human nature , why should react foolishly ?

Ranil is lucky he does not play cricket or do politics in India.
He would also get the Yuvraj treatment!

Illiteracy is still a major issue in India. The man on the streets cannot accept defeat in the same spirit as in Victory. They do not realise that victory and defeat are two sides of the same coin. More than 35% of Indians live below poverty lines. The frustrated unfortunates wait for any excuse to vent their feelings. They just took it on Yuvi and within the next couple of days they'll take it on others. Poor Yindians. What say you yarrrrrr. via DM iPad app

shahul Hameed Monday, 07 April 2014 05:26 AM

sad to hear this news,Yuvi had won several matches in the past for India,why these Indians are so ungrateful.

Shezad Monday, 07 April 2014 10:32 AM

We've lost so many finals (4 in 5 years), but no sri Lankan has ever dared to commit any such action. We should be proud of ourselves, and we love our heroes! :-)

Why no Indians are NOT throwing stones at the people who selected the team. Come on patriot Indians search for their houses and start YOUR THROWING.

Please think about Yuvaraj Contribution in World cup 2011. He was the man of the series. Every body will have ups and downs. Srilanka lost 4 times in final. Finally 5th time they won.

AJJA Monday, 07 April 2014 03:49 AM

No stones were turned in Srilanka when we lost to india in the 50-50 finals.
this is the difference between Indians and Gentlemen.

samantha Monday, 07 April 2014 04:11 AM

Yuvi.... you are most welcomed to join our Sri Lanka team.....your uncivilized countrymen do not deserve a good cricketer like you....

You have been a great match winner, a great fighter on and off the pitch.
We prayed for your recovery when the news of your tumour was broke.......and were so happy to see you back in the field

Shift base to Lanka

CJ Monday, 07 April 2014 04:09 AM

Pelting stones is not acceptable in any case. if theres match fixing, theres a way to handle it. you should get your head checked

this is not fair... of course we won the match but indian spectators should realized yuvraj had won so many tournaments for India.

And he survived a brain tumour to come back and bat for India

This is ugly mate....indian spectators please grow up

Cheap Indians. Get learned from Sri lankan`s how we treat to our players. Unacceptable behavior as always.

Rusty Monday, 07 April 2014 03:50 AM

Wait. Wait. The other 14 also will get the same treatment.

Concerned Citizen Monday, 07 April 2014 10:08 AM

It is in deed sad to see how Indians respond to loosing a match. But we have much to learn from this nation. They respond equally with passion when there is injustice. We don't throw stones at our Cricketers also we don't care at all with the injustice and corruption. Just a thought.
