New Delhi. In the current season of the Indian Premier League, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has come into controversy regarding his commentary. The matter escalated when a meme account on social media platform X raised questions on his commentary as well as the style of Virender Sehwag and Navjot Singh Sidhu. This comment was made during the match played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad, after which the issue quickly gained momentum.
Comparison with Ian Bishop increased controversy
The meme account compared Indian commentators to the famous West Indies commentator Ian Bishop, saying that Hindi commentary lacks depth and technical understanding. Harbhajan Singh gave a strong reaction to this comparison and said that when an elephant walks in the market, dogs bark, and he also advised the critic to remain silent.
War of words increased on social media
After this reply of Harbhajan, the controversy flared up further. The meme account hit back by mentioning his old rivalry with Ravichandran Ashwin and alleged that jealousy affected his career. Along with this, the user used provocative language, due to which the debate became more heated.
On this, Harbhajan Singh also responded in strong words, targeted the critics and made controversial comments. After this, a heated argument was seen between the two sides on social media.
Sehwag and Aakash Chopra also came under target
The controversy did not stop here. Some users made objectionable comments while sharing the pictures of Aakash Chopra, Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh. On this, Harbhajan also responded in a sharp manner, due to which the matter became more heated.
Questions have been raised on commentary earlier also
It is worth noting that even before this, controversy has come to light regarding the commentary of Aakash Chopra during the T20 World Cup. Now Harbhajan Singh’s name has also been added to the same list and this debate is continuously spreading on social media. This controversy over commentary on a big platform like IPL has once again raised the question of how important it is to live up to the expectations of the audience. Also, the increasing strong reactions on social media are an indication that the audience has now started expressing their opinions openly.
