When it comes to the India vs Pakistan rivalry, things get heated up real quick, be it in military and political affairs or in the game of cricket. A short but intense twitter battle between Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh and Shoaib Akhtar that went viral last night, is a living and epitome example of the same.
So what exactly happened between the two ex-cricketers? Well it all started with a controversial tweet by Shoaib Akhtar. “With Mr. I know it all @harbhajan_singh in Dubai for a pre discussion about the mother of all competitions.” – he wrote posting a picture of him and Harbhajan Singh at a show in Dubai. The term ‘Mr. I know it all’ did not go down well with the Team India fans and they started taking a dig at Akhtar. It also did not go unnoticed by Harbhajan Singh. It is a well known fact that Harbhajan Singh is not a player to be silenced by criticism like this and he came back with a brilliant reply.
Retweeting Shoaib Akhtar, Harbhajan Singh wrote, “When u have 400 plus test wickets am sure you know more about cricket then someone with less then 200 wickets”. The tweet got viral in no time and Harbhajan’s savageness was widely appreciated by the team India fans.
With the much awaited derby between the two biggest rivals in the world – India and Pakistan set to take place in a week’s time, the stakes are at an all time high and with trash talks like this going on continuously between the former Indian and Pakistani players, the excitement is just increasing every day.
