Harbhajan Singh slams Pakistan influencer for comparing MS Dhoni and Rizwan

The incident unfolded on X, formerly known as Twitter, where Farid Khan, who boasts about working with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Pakistan Super League (PSL), Lanka Premier League 2024 (LPL), and T10 Global League, posed the contentious question. “MS Dhoni or Mohammad Rizwan? Who is better? Tell me honestly,” he asked. 

Harbhajan Singh, known for his candid opinions and fierce loyalty to Indian cricket, did not hold back. "What r u smoking nowadays???? What a silly question to ask. Bhaiyo isko batao. DHONI bhut aage hai RIZWAN se. Even if u will ask Rizwan, he will give u an honest answer for this. I like Rizwan, he is a good player who always plays with intent.. but this comparison is wrong. DHONI no 1 even today in world cricket. None better thn him behind stumps," Harbhajan Singh wrote.
