India’s former spinner Harbhajan Singh has fired back at trolls targeting India’s captain Rohit Sharma. In response to accusations that Rohit had leaked sensitive dressing room information, Harbhajan called the allegations a “dirty game” and demanded proof. The controversy erupted when a fan claimed Rohit was spreading false narratives about head coach Gautam Gambhir and his teammates. Harbhajan, known for his outspoken nature, defended Rohit by questioning the source of the claims and pointed out that he knew who was behind the attacks, suggesting that they were being paid to spread misinformation.
In a separate retort, Harbhajan addressed another fan’s comment about leadership, referencing Rohit’s decision to step away during a poor run of form in the Sydney Test. Harbhajan stated, “I know who ran away. Should I remind you?” referring to an incident in the past, adding more fuel to the fire.
Meanwhile, Rohit clarified his absence, mentioning that off-field noise didn’t affect the team, emphasizing that they were focused on their game.
