India’s legendary off-spinner Harbhajan Singh is getting all the praise for his new digital talk show Bhajji Blast. The show, launched in last month during the recently concluded season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the show, he invites cricketers to talk about what they do in their personal lives, away from the cricket field.

Many prominent cricketers like Suresh Raina and Dwayne Bravo among others have so far featured in this talk show and revealed many things about the personal lives.

Recently, Harbhajan’s IPL team—Chennai Super Kings (CSK)—teammate Shane Watson featured in the latest episode of the show. During the episode, Watson and Bhajji talked about issues like ball-tampering, abusing on-field and more. Watson and Bhajji also trolled former Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi and India’s World Cup-winning all-rounder Yuvraj Singh for being regarded as the ‘youngsters’ in the cricket world.

Bhajji was sharing his experience of the 2001 series when Australia visited India for a three-match Test series. During this tour, Harbhajan snapped up the first-ever hat-trick in Test by an Indian bowler. He finished the series with 32 wickets under his belt.

During the conversation, Watson asked Bhajji how old he was during the 2001 Australia tour, to which Bhajji replied he was 18. Watson came up with a quirky questions to that reply, as he asked whether he was talking about his ‘cricket age’ or birth age. Bhajji couldn’t control himself and burst into laughter.

Bhajji then asked Watson whether he spent a lot of time with Shahid Afridi?

Without wasting any time, Watson replied “he has been 36 for about 7 years. That’s a great effort.” Besides Afridi, Bhajji also trolled his Indian teammate Yuvraj Singh. He said, “Me and Yuvraj, we played together U-14, U-16 than U-19. I got overage and Yuvraj still continued to play.”
