After losing the Test series against England, India has made a remarkable comeback so far in the game against West Indies. The Indians have so far dominated the first game of the two-match test series against West Indies at the Saurashtra Cricket Association, Rajkot. The West Indies team, on the other hand, have looked quite weak so far and have been able to retaliate. Amidst all this, Harbhajan Singh put up a disrespectful tweet against West Indies and took a dig at the poor performance of the team.
However, little did he know that this would not go down well with the fans. Earlier today, Harbhajan Singh took to Twitter and wrote, “With all due respect to West Indies Cricket but I have a question for u all...will this west Indies team qualify for Ranji quarters from the plate group? Elite se to nahin hoga #INDvsWI.” India vs West Indies 2018, First Test Day 2, Video Highlights: Virat Kohli & Co Put India in Commanding Position to Win Rajkot Test.

The fans were obviously disappointed with the choice of words of the Indian spinner and they trolled him mercilessly. Check out a few tweets below:
“With all due respect... this kind of behaviour is the reason you are sitting here and tweeting instead of playing. Very Disrespectful,” read a tweet.

“Noone should talk like this. That was the point,” read another post.

Another netizen wrote, “Without any respect, this is the same WI that got BAN for 41 runs. The same BAN that won on AUS and ENG. So please have some respect for other cricketing nations sir ji.”

This netizen reminded of the time when Indian lost to England in the test series earlier this year.
This was the exact feeling England were having when we were out there playing against them in their home ground! Don't be arrogant for no reason! Forgot that you are a sportsman?? #INDvWI #sportsmanship #staygrounded #stayhumble
