Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has mocked the Sri Lankan team’s dip of form in International cricket in one his tweet. However, he amended his mistake very soon and deleted his tweet straight away. But not before his tweet gained some limelight ahead of India-Sri Lanka series.

Bhajji’s tweet reflects a comment over Dimuth Karunaratne’s statement about how to cop Indian spin duo of Ashwin and Jadeja. He said “I know Jadeja and Ashwin are both hungry for wickets. Every time they bowl it’s about sticking to the basics. If I don’t give them any chance, they will try to do something else. If we need them to change the field you have to do something extra.”

“That’s my game plan… I wait for the loose ones and I will stick to that. If it does not work I will think out of the box and give some extra pressure to the bowlers,” Karunaratne added.

Afterwards, Harbhajan reacted on this comment and wrote in his tweet; “Same way how they did in recent series.. they r getting beaten by Zimbabwe.. 1st inn 200 second inn 150. Sri Lankan team at their lowest so sad to see them like this.. hope they will revive and get to international level.”
