Soon enough, a few fans started pointing out how the action also resembled a little bit of fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah as well. One could also argue that the girl's bowling action also served as a reminder of Sunil Narine's bowling action. A fan also shared a funny video of an exemplary batsman. 

Harbhajan proceeded to retweet the video on his own timeline.

Where is Harbhajan Singh?

The ace spinner has been away from the limelight for a while now. He still plays cricket for the Chennai Super Kings and has adopted the commentator or expert's role for cricket broadcasters. Harbhajan recently came into the news when he enlisted himself for The Hundred's Draft, England's new 100-ball cricket tournament. However, since the BCCI's rules do not let active players participate in leagues rivalling the IPL, Harbhajan had to pull out of the draft. Harbhajan added that he did not mind this move as his main priority is to play well for the Chennai Super Kings in the upcoming IPL.
