It seems things aren’t well between Harbhajan Singh and Ravinchandran Ashwin, since the time the former tweeted about bad pitches being responsible for less wickets. In spite of victory over New Zealand, Bhajji wasn’t in a good mood.
If you don’t remember, here’s the tweet in which he blamed the pitches…
Already looks like 2 days old pitch before the 1st bowl is bowled..my predictions match won't go more then 3 and half days.. https://t.co/obn4qVRnP6

Bhajji also said;
Only 2 in my 103 tests.. Kumble and my test wicket count would have been something else if we got wickets like last 4 years we playing on👊 https://t.co/fvkdVw1I1v

They eventually won the match, but it was off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who played a major role in this win. Yes, he had an awesome figure in the match i.e. 13/40, which is definitely worth appreciating, isn’t it?
Many people assumed that Harbhajan’s tweet about pitches was an indirect attack on the rising success of Ashwin. We all know that people are quite active on Twitter these days, and even 1 tweet can make a lot of difference!
Now, there was a fan who tweeted that Harbhajan is jealous over Ashwin’s success and to everyone’s surprise, this tweet was liked by Ashwin.
Here’s the tweet which Ashwin liked….
Appo @ashwinravi99 ? This is called stomach burning….. https://t.co/E1gVCG0poD

However, Ashwin cleared the air and stated that Harbhajan has always been an inspiration to him and the banter that is going on is very unhealthy. Yes, he respects Harbhajan and can never have a negative view about him.
Here’s what Ashwin tweeted…
@harbhajan_singh has been an inspiration nd I started bowling off spin only after seeing the 2001 series.This banter going on is unhealthy

On this, the fan immediately asked Ashwin as to why did he liked his tweet if there was nothing in his mind;

One more positive tweet from Ashwin!
By pitting players against each other we aren't going to gain anything but just a juicy headline.Lets respect ppl and keep the game healthy🙏

However, even Harbhajan thought how important it was to speak on this matter. There was a tweet from Bhajji too…
Dear got nothing against you. For some reasons my words are misconstrued. Wish you nothing but the best ✌️ Keep the flag high! God bless 😇 https://t.co/flIqJYDT4y
