Excitement in the country was at its peak! Whether you are a cricket fan or not, chances are, you must have watched today's World Cup Final between India and Australia. During the match, former cricketer Harbhajan Singh was doing the commentary. As the camera showed Athiya Shetty (W/O KL Rahul) and Anushka Sharma (W/O Virat Kohli) discussing something, Singh made a remark on their knowledge about cricket.
This didn't sit well with the netizens who took to social media and showed their anger. The users demanded apologies from Harbhajan for his comment on Anushka and Athiya. One user wrote, "@harbhajan_singh What do you mean that the ladies understand cricket or not?? Please apologise immediately. @AnushkaSharma @theathiyashetty @klrahul @imVkohli #INDvsAUSfinal #INDvAUS #ICCWorldCupFinal."
One user wrote, "the commentator just said "yeh baatein bhi pata nahi kya hori hogi because cricket ki toh pata nahi kitni samajh hogi" when anushka and athiya were shown on screen chatting and it's the most disgusting thing I have ever heard."
A third user wrote, "Typical Harbhajan Singh L. Disgrace as a person. "Filmo ki baat ho rahi hogi ya cricket ki- Pata nahi cricket ki kitni samaj hogi. Pathetic."
