'Please Stop Dreaming and Wake Up Now': Harbhajan Singh Gives a Blunt Response to a Fan

India’s spinning great Harbhajan Singh has given a wake-up call to a Pakistan cricket fan who talked about his dreams on social media. Pakistan’s cricket community have often voiced their fervent aspiration to witness players like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi participate in IPL alongside Indian stars like Jasprit Bumrah, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. One such fan shared a few edited photographs of these stars sharing the frame on X.

The post reads, “Dream for many Indian and Pakistani cricket fans”. However, India’s beloved Bhajji didn’t seem to agree with the post as he wrote, “No Indian have such dreams…you guys plz stop dreaming. Wake up now”.

Harbhajan Singh recently spoke on the upcoming T20I World Cup scheduled in the United States on his YouTube channel. The spin legend opined that the upcoming ICC tournament would mark a new chapter in India’s ace batter Virat Kohli’s career. He rubbished the reports that claimed there were doubts about Kohli being a certainty for the 2024 T20I World Cup. He said, “A player like Virat Kohli not winning a World Cup? I can’t digest it.” He then talked about how the star batter must have his eyes set on the trophy. “The IPL is coming and then there is the World Cup. Virat Kohli’s bat will make the same noise as before, probably louder. Of course, Virat has that World Cup trophy (on mind)”, Harbhajan said.

Virat Kohli withdrew from India’s recent five-match Test series against England due to the birth of his son Akaay on February 15 this year. The former skipper will currently be focused on the upcoming IPL season following which he is also expected to represent the Men in Blue in the T20I World Cup in June.

Speaking of Harbhajan Singh, the Indian bowler is widely known as one of the best and most accomplished spinners in cricket history. In the era of wrist spin, Harbhajan was one of the few players who kept the flag flying high for fingerspin. Harbhajan announced himself to the world in March 2001 when he proved just too mighty for the all-conquering Australians.
