During the World Championship of Legends match in England, former cricketers Harbhajan Singh and Kamran Akmal engaged in a heated conversation.
The interaction sparked fan speculation, especially concerning a controversial ‘Sikh joke’ about Arshdeep Singh previously made by Akmal. Kamran has acknowledged that this was indeed a topic of their discussion. Another subject came up during their exchange, after which Harbhajan apologized.
Kamran Akmal admitted to his mistake regarding his insensitive joke as a pundit during the T20 World Cup 2024. His comments quickly spread online, leading Harbhajan to criticize him publicly. Akmal expressed regret, emphasizing his respect for all religions and clarifying his intentions were never harmful.
Furthermore, during the T20 World Cup final analysis on Star Sports, where Harbhajan also served as a pundit, an incident involving an inappropriate comparison between Pakistan’s Babar Azam and West Indies’ Brian Lara was brought up. Kamran pointed out Harbhajan’s error in mocking Babar, a topic they discussed extensively. Harbhajan acknowledged his mistake, agreeing that such comparisons are unfair and inappropriate among sports professionals.
