Harbhajan Singh takes a dig at selectors
Meanwhile, Harbhajan Singh, who has shared the dressing room with Yuvraj Singh for almost a decade trolled India selectors. Yuvraj always had a complaint with the way he was handled during the last few years of his career.
The legendary all-rounder was always in and out from the squad and never got a long run in the Indian team. Harbhajan Singh sarcastically took a dig at the selectors who were part of the selection panel during the last few years of Yuvraj’s career.
Anything for the last batch 🙄😝?? https://t.co/WbpgWYWpKu
