In reply, the former India spinner wrote, “Wah Angrej ki Aulaad . Shame on you Apni भाषा bolne aur sun k fakr mehsoos hona chahiye. [You should be proud to speak and listen to your language]”
Prior to the Champions Trophy 2025 match against Pakistan, Harbhajan Singh made a prediction about Virat Kohli’s performance on his YouTube channel.
“I’m going to make a big prediction and prediction here. How about Virat Kohli getting 100 versus Pakistan? Yeah, so no matter how his last 4 months are gone, people will obviously remember if you go on to get 100 tomorrow. So come on, Cheeku, the whole nation is behind you. I am hoping that you get 100, and I’m going to do bhangra after the game now.”
Harbhajan’s prediction proved accurate as Kohli achieved his 51st ODI century. The milestone came when Kohli hit a boundary, leading India to a six-wicket victory over Pakistan.
