HIGHLIGHTSIndia lost by 10 wickets to Pakistan in their T20 World Cup opener on Oct. 24Harbhajan and Amir have been having a go at each other on Twitter since India’s maiden WC loss vs PakistanMohammad Amir is a disgrace who didn’t play the game fairly: Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh on Wednesday lashed out at fast bowler Mohammad Amir, who got into a war of words with the veteran India cricketer after Pakistan’s 10-wicket win over India in the Super 12 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021.

Harbhajan and Amir were engaged in a war of words on Twitter on Tuesday during which the off-spinner reminded the former Pakistan cricketer about the 2010 spot-fixing saga in England, which tainted Amir’s cricket career for half a decade.

“Who is Amir I want to know, what credentials does he have? He is someone who betrayed his own country and fixed the game in Lord’s. He’s been talking too much about the India-Pakistan match and I gave him a befitting reply.

“Me and Shoaib Akhtar had our banter and he jumped in. He’s a disgrace, someone who didn’t play this game fairly. I don’t want to talk to people like this.

“I also urge the Pakistan Prime Minister to open schools for them where they can learn how to conduct themselves and how to behave when elders are talking. These guys have no sense or class. He’s no one,” Harbhajan told India Today.

Former Pakistan captain and head coach Waqar Younis also sparked a fresh controversy after the T20 World Cup match on Sunday when he said watching opener Mohammad Rizwan offering namaz “in front of Hindus was very special to him”.

Younis later issued an apology on Twitter and on the Pakistani news channel on which he had made the comments after Babar Azam’s team crushed India in Dubai in their opening game.

The defeat was India first-ever in a World Cup against Pakistan and their biggest loss while defending a total in the shortest format.
