Harbhajan Singh came into trouble after the former Indian spinner pledged support to arch rival’s and former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi’s Foundation during the coronavirus pandemic.
Yuvraj Singh too wasn’t received well by a chunk of Indian people on social media and he was bashed for the same. On Wednesday, #ShameonYuviBhajji was trending on Twitter with 50k tweets on the same.
The left-hander hit back at trolls with a tweet that said, “I really don’t understand how a message to help the most vulnerable gets blown out of proportion! All I tried to achieve via that message was to help people in our respective countries by providing healthcare, my intention was not to hurt anyone’s feelings. I’m an Indian and will always bleed blue and will always stand for humanity. Jai Hind.”
