Recently, Harbhajan Singh took a dig at Yuvraj Singh with a throwback video where he dismissed left-hander in an IPL match. The video was from the match between Mumbai Indians and now-defunct Pune Warriors India. In the video, Yuvraj Singh can be seen trying to play an off-spinner across the line but was trapped LBW as he misses the ball which hit his pads.
Harbhajan Singh jokingly asked Yuvraj Singh to play straight. Yuvraj Singh had a decent IPL career in which he scored 2,750 runs and picked up 36 wickets from 132 matches. The star all-rounder has won the IPL twice in 2016 (with Sunrisers Hyderabad) and 2019 (with Mumbai Indians) respectively.
