India's iconic spinner Harbhajan Singh made headlines with his candid response to a Pakistan cricket fan dreaming of Indian and Pakistani players featuring together in the IPL. The fan's post, showcasing edited images of players like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi alongside Indian stars, prompted Singh to dismiss the idea, stating, "No Indian has such dreams...you guys, please stop dreaming. Wake up now." This incident underscored the ongoing cricketing fervor between the two nations.
In recent commentary on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan Singh discussed the upcoming T20I World Cup in the United States.

Singh asserted, "A player like Virat Kohli not winning a World Cup? I can’t digest it," emphasizing Kohli's determination to clinch the trophy.
Speaking about Kohli's temporary absence from the Test series against England due to the birth of his son, Harbhajan noted that Kohli's focus would shift to the IPL and subsequently to the T20I World Cup. Kohli's return to international cricket is eagerly anticipated by fans worldwide.
