Harbhajan Singh takes the Pakistani troll to class for trying to defame Irfan Pathan
However, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh was quick to point out that Irfan Pathan wasn’t visible in the video that the Pakistani user had shared. Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh were among India’s brightest stars at the time. Both were members of the Indian team that won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007.
“Where is @IrfanPathan in this video ?? Bolne ki tameez to aap logo ko pehle hi nahi thi. Ab aankho se dikhna bi bandh ho gya kya ? Waise bi agar angreji mai swal pooch liya to pange pad Jayenge,” Harbhajan said while quoting the video.
