Harbhajan Singh Teaches Kamran Akmal History Lesson Over Racist 'Sikh Joke', His Apology

Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh was in no mood to tolerate a racist comment from former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal on current Team India star Arshdeep Singh. As India took on Pakistan in a tense T20 World Cup 2024 clash in New York, Akmal made a racist 'Sikh' joke at Arshdeep, the video of which went viral on social media. As the video caught Harbhajan's attention, the spinner took to social media, blasting the former Pakistan wicket-keeper batter while teaching him a history lesson too. Akmal later issued an apology.

In a video reposted by Harbhajan, Akmal was part of a panel on ARY News. During the show, he made a controversial remark about Arshdeep's religion and stated, "Kuch bhi ho sakta hai... 12 baj gaye hai (Anything can happen. It is already 12)."

His remarks didn't sit well with Harbhajan and he lambasted Kamran for his remarks over Arshdeep and wrote on X, "Lakh di laanat tere Kamraan Akhmal.. You should know the history of Sikhs before you open your filthy mouth. We Sikhs saved your mothers and sisters when they were abducted by invaders, the time invariably was 12 o'clock . Shame on you...Have some Gratitude."
