Harbhajan Singh has always shown his candor various times on the internet regarding various topics. He doesn’t hold his words back and is always brutally honest whenever he has had the opportunity. When former Pakistan captain, Inzamam-ul-Haq claimed the Indian off-spinner was close to converting to Islam, Harbhajan called him out.
In a video that has now gone viral, Inzamam claimed the Indian off-spinner was close to converting to Islam. He spoke about the time when India and Pakistan were playing a series and the Pakistan team used to attend the preaching of Maulana Tariq Jameel, who used to read the Quran. After a few days, the Pakistan team invited Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan and Mohammed Kaif to attend.
He added that a few more Indian players, one of them being Harbhajan, also joined, but never said the prayers. The Indian spinner once confided to Inzamam-ul-Haq that he agreed to the Maulana’s teaching and the Pakistani skipper tried persuading him to convert.
Seeing the video, Harbhajan didn’t hold back his anger at his claims. In a tweet, Harbhajan called out the former cricketer and expressed his displeasure. He asked if Inzamam was drunk and reiterated that he was a proud Indian and Sikh.
