The India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match ended up on a sad note for the Indian cricket team as they were thrashed by 10 wickets at the hands of their arch-rivals. However, seems like India vs Pakistan clash isn’t over yet, as former cricketers from both nations are now battling it out on social media.
Though there is no doubt in the fact that the Babar Azam-led side has been doing incredibly well on-field but several former cricketers and experts from Pakistan are busy making controversial, insensitive, and communal comments, thus spoiling the fun for cricket lovers from around the world.
For many Pakistani fans and experts, the team might have already won the World Cup by finally winning a match that ended their 29-year-old World Cup jinx, however, that win against India has made their former cricketers go wild in every sense. From Babar Azam’s “Kufr toot gaya” to Waqar Younis’ “namaz in front of Hindus” comment, insensitive comments are coming in from all the corners. The latest example of craziness is former Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Amir.
Well, Mohammad Amir took to his Twitter and asked “Harbhajan Paa ji ne TVto nai toda apna?” For the unversed, this comment was made over the taunts of the Indians about Pakistani fans breaking their television sets after losing to India in the past.
Harbhajan Singh, who has been on the receiving end of trolling by Pakistani fans and cricketers including the likes of Shoaib Akhtar, didn’t hold back this time and gave it back to him. He wrote: “Ab Tum bi bologe @iamamirofficial. yeh 6 ki landing tumhare ghar k tv par to nahi hui thi ?? Koi nahi hota hai end of the day it’s a game of cricket as u rightly said”

However, things didn’t end here, it just kept escalating from there as both the cricketers replied to each other’s tweets. In one of the Tweets, Mohammad Amir taunted the Indian spinner by sharing a video of him conceding 4 sixes off 4 balls from Shahid Afridi.
Harbhajan Singh, not someone to back down, slammed Amir for the Lord’s Test’s controversial no-ball fixing scandal in 2010. He wrote:
“Lords mai no ball kaise ho gya tha ?? Kitna liya kisne diya ? Test cricket hai no ball kaise ho sakta hai ? Shame on u and ur other supporters for disgracing this beautiful game”

Mohammad Amir once again came up with a tweet reminding Harbhajan Singh of the recent win by Pakistan over India. He wrote:
“Bare hi dheet ho talking about my past wouldn’t change the fact that tumko 3 din pehle moun ki khani pari. and how about your illegal bowling action mate ab nikal or humko WC win karta dekh. walk over tu nhi mila jao Park me walk karo u’ll feel better @harbhajan_singh”

However, it was Harbhajan Singh who had the last laugh as he shared a video of his last over six against Pakistan. Sharing the video, Bhajji called Amir a ‘fixer‘. He wrote:
“Fixer ko sixer.. out of the park @iamamirofficial chal daffa ho ja”
