Harbhajan Singh’s Praise for Mohammad Amir
During the T20 World Cup 2024, Harbhajan Singh, a commentator for Star Sports, praised Pakistani bowler Mohammad Amir. After Pakistan’s win over Canada, Harbhajan said, “You have been a champion bowler for Pakistan. There is a faith that whenever you have the ball in hand, you will help the team with three to four wickets.” This statement sparked interest online, especially because of Harbhajan’s past remarks.
Internet Recalls Harbhajan’s 2021 Tweet
Harbhajan’s comments didn’t sit well with some fans who quickly dug up a tweet from 2021. In the tweet, Harbhajan had called Amir a “fixer” and posted a video of himself hitting Amir for a six in the 2010 Asia Cup. The tweet read, “Fixer ko sixer.. out of the park @iamamirofficial chal daffa ho ja.” This tweet was seen as contradictory to his praise during the recent match.

Despite the controversies, Amir continued to perform and is now active in the T20 World Cup 2024, where he has taken five wickets in the first three games.
