Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh is facing the heat from Ravichandran Ashwin fans on social media after his recent tweet for Ravindra Jadeja.

The legendary spinner took to the social media platform to praise Jadeja after his stunning display in the recently-concluded second Test against Australia. The left-arm spinner once again made the difference with the ball, picking up a career-best 7 for 42 in the second innings to help India win the Test by 6 wickets.

When day three began on Sunday (February 19), Australia were comfortably placed at 61 for 1 after taking a 1-run lead in the first innings. The visitors were slightly ahead of India in the game and were looking set to post a challenging total.

But they suffered an almighty collapse thanks to Ravindra Jadeja’s stunning display. The left-arm spinner picked up 6 wickets in the first session while his spin partner Ashwin picked up the other 3 as Australia were bowled out for just 113.

Chasing 114, India crossed the finishing line with ease. The likes of Rohit Sharma (31), Cheteshwar Pujara (31), Srikar Bharat (23*) played crucial cameos to help India cross the finishing line in the 27th over by losing 4 wickets.

Harbhajan Singh praises Ravindra Jadeja, gets slammed:

Ravindra Jadeja finished the game with 10 wickets. He also scored 26 crucial runs in the first innings. And the all round performance helped him win his second Man of the Match award in a row in the series.

Following the game, he posted a picture of himself with his award and Harbhajan Singh decided to congratulate him. The former spinner wrote: “This Jodi look great . trophy +jaddu keep it up shera.. hwa thandi chal rahi hai ??”

Harbhajan Singh’s tweet, however, did not go down well with some Ashwin fans. As soon as he posted the congratulatory tweet, they accused him of  being biased towards Ashwin.

In the past too, Harbhajan Singh was accused of the same. The fans were quick to remind him that he did not congratulate Ashwin for his five-wicket haul in the first innings.
