Harbhajan Singh: Tino Best takes on Harbhajan Singh over tweet on West Indies team | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Harbhajan Singh's opinion on West Indies' abject surrender in the first Test at Rajkot brought much criticism to the Indian offspinner, who has faced further flak for his demeaning tweet from Tino Best -- the Windies fast bowler who retired in 2016.

West Indies lost the opening Test of their ongoing tour of India by an innings and 272 runs, giving the hosts their biggest win in the format.

Taking a dig at the visitors' performance, Harbhajan tweeted, "With all due respect to West Indies Cricket but I have a question for u all...will this west Indies team qualify for Ranji quarters from the plate group? Elite se to nahin hoga."

It led to a backlash on Twitter, especially from the ardent fans of West Indies cricket, who feel hurt to see the decline of a cricketing nation that was once invincible.

Taking Bhajji on, Best reminded the offspinner of India's tour of England preceding this series. India had lost four of the five Test in England as the hosts won 4-1.

"Hey bro didn’t see these cocky tweets vs England .... but anyhow the young men will learn," Best, who played 25 Tests for West Indies, retorted. He ended his career with 56 Test wickets, besides also playing 26 ODIs and 6 T20Is.

The 38-year-old Harbhajan, who hasn't yet retired from any form of cricket, last played for India in a T20 international against the United Arab Emirates in March 2016.


The 103-Test veteran has 417 wickets in the longest format and was also part of India's World Twenty20 (2007) and World Cup (2011) victories. He has played 236 ODIs and 28 T20Is.


India face West Indies in the second and final Test from October 12 in Hyderabad.
