Overview
- Harbhajan Singh, replying on X on Sunday after the RCB–SRH opener, hit back at critics of the Hindi panel with a Hindi proverb telling a user to leave and later wrote “Dogs can't digest ghee…” when accused of being jealous of Ravichandran Ashwin.
- The exchange followed posts mocking the panel that featured Virender Sehwag, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Aakash Chopra, and Harbhajan, including a meme calling them “three clowns,” to which he retorted, “Inme se ek ko papa chun le.”
- Reactions split online, with some users defending his pushback against abusive trolling and many others criticizing his use of offensive language and urging restraint from a former India star.
- One outlet cited an unverified claim that the BCCI could step in, yet as of Monday there is no confirmed disciplinary action or formal response from authorities.
- The row sits within broader scrutiny of the Hindi broadcast, including separate fan criticism of Sehwag’s on-air digs at Ashwin, even as past comments from Harbhajan and Ashwin stress mutual respect despite recurring rivalry chatter.
