NEW DELHI: Rajya Sabha MP and former cricketer Harbhajan Singh, known for his outspoken nature on X (formerly Twitter), recently found himself amid another viral argument. This time, the controversy centred around his Rajya Sabha membership and his role as a commentator.

The exchange began when users started trolling Harbhajan for his cricket commentary. One user, @Professor_cheems, shared a post depicting blood coming out of an ear, captioned, โ€œKuch nahi bass Harbhajan Singh ki Sayari wali commentary sun liโ€ (Translation: โ€œNothing, just heard Harbhajan Singhโ€™s poetic commentaryโ€). Harbhajan responded sharply, defending his commentary style.

The argument took a new turn when X user @RahulTavar_ targeted Harbhajanโ€™s Rajya Sabha membership, saying, โ€œTu bhi nikal ja Rajya Sabha se, wahan bolte hue hamne nahi suna tujhe. Nalla, tankwah kha raha tax payer ke paison pe bematlab.โ€ which translate to, (โ€œYou also leave the Rajya Sabha, we havenโ€™t heard you speak there. Useless, living off taxpayer money for no reason.โ€)

Harbhajan hit back, stating, โ€œBrother my whole salary goes to educating kids who canโ€™t afford it. Not a single penny goes for my use. I am also a taxpayer like you. Donโ€™t get so angryโ€ฆ and if you do want to get some education, let me know. I will take care of your studies too. You need to learn TAMEEZ (manners).โ€

Another user, @VirMessiSuyash, criticized his commentary by saying, โ€œYou are a good bowler, but your commentary is shit.โ€ Harbhajan replied, โ€œApke muh me yeh tatti hi kyu rehti hai. Aise shabd kyu bolte ho?โ€ which translates to (โ€œWhy is there shit in your mouth? Why do you use such words?โ€)

While many users joined the argument, some thrashed the cricketer, while others supported him, suggesting he should stay away from social media.

This incident follows Harbhajan Singhโ€™s recent comments about former South African cricketer Gary Kirsten. A week ago, Harbhajan urged Kirsten not to waste his time with the Pakistan menโ€™s cricket team and to return to coach the Men in Blue. Harbhajan referred to Kirsten as one of the rarest diamonds and a special man for the Indian team.
