Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has fallen on the receiving end of some hard and brutal troll from a section of Indian cricket fans on the micro-blogging site Twitter. It all happened when Harbhajan Singh opined his thoughts in the aftermath of yesterday’s infamous on-field heated and verbal spat between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli after the match between LSG and RCB.
The 42-year-old also recalled his physical altercation and the moment when he slapped the former Indian pacer S Sreesanth 15 years back in the first season of the IPL in 2008.
“I Am Ashamed of What I Did with Sreesanth In 2008. Virat Kohli Is a Legend, Should Not Get Involved in Such Things. Whatever Happened Between Virat and Gambhir Was Not Right for Cricket,” said the two-time World Cup winner off-spinner.
Although some of the fans couldn’t take Harbhajan’s opinion very easily after the verbal spat between Gambhir and Kohli at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. They immediately took to Twitter to troll Harbhajan Singh and called him out for his on-field behaviour during his cricketing career.
Here’s how fans trolled Harbhajan Singh for his opinion Gambhir-Kohli episode

I agree but there might be exchange of Dilli ki Gaaliyan..... which has led to this moreover it was the result of a buildup....watch Gauti's previous interviews & his gesture of Silent..

Watched the full video. Very well said by a seasoned professional. Sharing his personal experience and regrets is what other players must learn from.

That is RCB fans reaction..
Talking about cricket and the action of the match between LSG and RCB, the visitors’ skipper won the toss and won the toss. Batting first, Faf du Plessis’ men posted a low total of 126 runs for the loss of nine wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Skipper du Plessis played a crucial knock of 44 runs to keep the scoreboard going following a 30-ball 31-run knock by former skipper Virat Kohli.
While chasing the target, the LSG batting lineup was completely choked down against the bowling attack of RCB; the hosts got bundled up on the score of only 108 runs in 19.5 overs and lost the match by 18 runs.
Notably, it was the fourth loss for Lucknow Super Giants in the ninth match they played in the tournament so far. They are now placed at the third spot of the points table with five wins and 10 points in the current season.
