What started as a few light-hearted digs has escalated into an ugly row on social media in between Indian Spider Great Harbhajan Singh and former Pakistani pacemaker Mohammad Amir. The duo chatted late on Tuesday and in the early hours of Wednesday, just a few days later, on Twitter Pakistan’s victory over India in their opening match of the 2021 T20 World Cup. The feud began with Harbhajan responding to a tweet by Amir on October 25, where the latter mocked the former over Pakistan’s 10-wicket win over India.
In response, Harbhajan shared a video of the 2010 Asia Cup, where he hit the winning runs for India against Pakistan with the bowling of Amir.

Amir hit back by sharing a video of a 2006 Test match in Lahore where Shahid Afridi hit Harbhajan four consecutive sixes.

Things soon got ugly, however, as Amir’s tweet did not go down well with Harbhajan, reminding the former Pakistani pacemaker of his involvement in the 2010 bullshit scandal in the Lord’s Test against England.
“Lord mai no ball kaise ho gya tha ?? Kitna liya kisne diya? Test cricket hai no ball kaise ho sakta hai? Shame on you and your other fans for bringing this beautiful game to shame,” Harbhajan tweeted. (“How was there a no ball at Lord’s? How much did you take (and) who paid you? How can anyone deliver a no ball in Test cricket?”)
Here mai no ball kaise ho gya tha ?? Kitna liya kisne diya? Toetskrieket hai no ball kaise ho sakta hai? Shame on you and your other fans for the shame of this beautiful game https://t.co/nbv6SWMvQl

Harbhajan would tweet a few more times with a photo of Amir’s infamous no ball in the 2010 Lord’s Test and another video of his six wins against Pakistan the 2010 Asia Cup.

Amir also did some digging at Harbhajan and asked the Indian “how are you doing with your illegal bowling action” in a tweet.
Bare hi dheet ho talking about my past will not change the fact that tumko 3 din pehle moun ki khani pari. and how about your illegal bowling action mate ab nikal or humko WC win Karta dekh. walk over tu nhi mila jao Park my walk karo you will feel better @harbhajan_singh https://t.co/i1dCh7I28c

The tweet referred to Harbhajan’s bowling that had been reported for suspicious conduct in the past before being cleared.
