Controversial Comments During T20 World Cup Discussion
Akmal’s Remarks
During a panel discussion on ARY News following the India vs Pakistan match at the T20 World Cup in New York, Akmal made a derogatory comment about the Indian pacer’s religion. He said, “Kuch bhi ho sakta hai… Dekhe last over karna Arshdeep Singh ne hai. Waise uska rhythm nahi laga. 12 baj gaye hai (Anything can happen. The last over will be bowled by Arshdeep Singh; he hasn’t looked in a great rhythm. And it is already 12 o’clock).”
Harbhajan Singh’s Response
Akmal’s comments sparked a significant backlash on social media, drawing a furious response from Harbhajan Singh. The Indian spin legend responded on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), saying, “Lakh di lanate tere Kamran Akmal… 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.”
