Former Indian players Harbhajan Singh and Virender Sehwag were engaged in a hilarious banter during a live TV show over the off-spinner picking a player from Punjab who will be a bowling superstar for India in the next five years.
During an interaction on Star Sports, former India spinner Harbhajan named young pacer Arshdeep Singh to become a superstar in the next five years. Arshdeep, made his debut for India last year following a breakthrough season in the IPL.
As a result, Harbhajan said that the left-arm pacer will be a big name in the coming next five years. However, he was brutally trolled by ex-India opener Sehwag.
"Mere liye Arshdeep. Arshdeep mujhe lagta hai ki... aaj ka Arshdeep aur agle 5 saalo mein, aur better hoga (For me Arshdeep. I think the Arshdeep of today will get even better in the next five years)," said Harbhajan.
Responding to Harbhajan, Sehwag said, "Punjab k alawa bhi players hain (There are players outside Punjab as well)."
However, the ever-witty Harbhajan came up with an amazing response leaving everyone in splits.
He said: "Nai Punjab ke alawa bhi hai par pratibha ki baat ho rahi hai to vo to mujhe wahi dikh rahi hai (There are others as well apart from Punjab, but here we are talking about talent, and I can see that there only)."
Thus far, Arshdeep has played 26 T20Is for India, bagging 41 wickets. He has played three ODIs, but has gone wicketless. He played in the recent T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia and picked a wicket with his first ball in the tournament, trapping Babar Azam LBW for a duck.
