The relationship between Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh and Pakistani bowler Mohammad Amir hit a new low. Singh slammed Amir for his role in the historic spot-fixing scam that occurred more than a decade ago.
As a result, after Pakistan defeated India in a T20 World Cup match on Sunday, a Twitter fight between Harbhajan Singh and Mohammad Amir erupted. With Amir’s questions about ‘breaking the TV’ and video exchanges of each other’s on-field performances, the conflict swiftly intensified. It rapidly drew the attention of the media as well as cricket fans in both countries.
Mohammad Amir
Singh presented a synopsis of all the tweets in a video on his YouTube channel on Wednesday before calling Mohammad Amir a disgrace and a jaahil (roughly translated to uncivilized) who’sold cricket.’ The 41-year-old even said that the Pakistan pacer lacked the aukaat (credentials) to communicate with him.
“See, if I step more into this mud, I’ll also get dirty so I don’t want to go there. Amir doesn’t have that “aukaat” or he’s not at a level where I should even talk to him. The more I will talk about him, the more I’ll disrespect myself. I don’t want to talk much about him. He’s a disgrace.” Harbhajan Singh said
“The black spot he has put on world cricket is unforgettable for everyone. The guy who sold cricket, his country, his self-respect, cheated with everyone and tried to earn money by purposely bowling a no-ball at Lord’s, bickering with him will be perhaps my mistake. You don’t deserve that. I shouldn’t have reacted to your tweet because you are “jaahil” and will remain so.” he added
As a result, before the 2010 Lord’s Test against England, three Pakistani players were found guilty of accepting bribes from a bookie. An ICC panel sentenced Amir, who was only 19 at the time, to a five-year suspension. He returned to international cricket in 2016 before retiring at the end of last year.
