Former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh gave the perfect reply to a troll on Twitter after the troll questioned Bhajji about him not wearing a turban. Harbhajan had a posted a video of himself from his twitter account and he was wearing a cap instead of his regular turban or patka. One of the Twitter users replied him impolitely to remind of him wearing the turban and it did not go well for the off-spinner.
The Offie this season is playing for the first time for any other franchise than Mumbai Indians. Harbhajan was picked up by Chennai Super Kings who were looking out for the replacement for their lead spinner Ravi Ashwin. Being the flamboyant and the enthusiast that he is, Harbhajan took no time in gelling well with the CSK roster.
So while traveling for one of the Chennai matches, Bhajji posted a video with his teammates while himself trying out various filters. Harbhajan was wearing a cap in the video. One of his followers took this chance to chide him for not wearing a turban and called the look disgusting.
He tweeted, “Bhaji… (U r younger to me inspite of that I said Bhaji to u becoz ur acheivments r much better then me) u kept title Harbhajan Turbanator.If u can’t afford to wear Turban.Pls wear patka with little juda So u look Sardar.presant look is disgusting. ”

Harbhajan took note of the comment and replied him with “Bhai apne ghar me gyaan baat, mujhe sardaari mat sikha. God Bless you.” Though Bhajji later deleted the tweet.
Such instances are not new for Harbhajan though. Back in 2017, he had replied a fan in a similar stern way.
As the saying goes "U can't teach an old dog new tricks"Bhajji ur best days r over realise it n call it a day.Retire with grace from international cricket.Dont make a fool of iurself like some of ur predecessors.is all I can say.

Replying him, Bhajji had said, “Old dog like u can only bark..so plz continue to do that.this is what u have learn I think all ur life..you have already lost the battle coz u have given up on learning new things.everyday there is new thing to learn. Provided we want to learn.dont teach others ur ways.”
Harbhajan has played seven matches so far in the 2018 season of the IPL and has picked 6 wickets at a modest economy of 7.16
