‘We Sikhs saved ur mothers and sisters’: Furious Harbhajan Singh blasts Kamran Akmal for racist joke on Arshdeep Singh | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Former India off-spiner Harbhajan Singh launched scathing attack on former Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Kamran Akmal for his racial joke on Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh.
A video of Akmal is doing the rounds on social media in which he was seen reacting to the match on a news channel in Pakistan and making a remark that has not gone well with Harbhajan as he mocked Arshdeep based on his religion.
During the 19th over of Pakistan’s batting innings, with India on the brink of securing a win and Arshdeep preparing to deliver the final over, Akmal uttered the controversial remark.
“Lakh di laanat tere Kamraan Akhmal.. You should know the history of sikhs before u open ur filthy mouth. We Sikhs saved ur mothers and sisters when they were abducted by invaders, the time invariably was 12 o’clock . Shame on you…Have some Gratitude @KamiAkmal23,” Harbhajan posted on X.

Akmal’s comment sparked outrage among fans and cricket enthusiasts, who condemned his inappropriate attempt at humour. The backlash was swift and widespread, with many expressing their disappointment and anger towards the former player’s insensitive remark.

Talking about their match, Indian bowlers, led by an outstanding Jasprit Bumrah, delivered a collective masterclass, propelling their team to a thrilling six-run victory over Pakistan in a low-scoring match on Sunday.
Bumrah (3/14) and Hardik Pandya (2/24) were exceptional, giving nothing away while defending a modest total of 120, as India restricted Pakistan to 113 for seven.
Earlier, pacers Naseem Shah and Mohammad Amir showcased brilliant spells, helping Pakistan bowl out India for 119 after a couple of rain interruptions.
