India Champions recently won the final of the inaugural World Championship of Legends (WCL) by defeating Pakistan Champions.
After the match, the players including former cricketers Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh, hopped on the ongoing Tauba Tauba trend and created a reel.
In the video, they all jokingly limped while dancing to the popular song. However, their reel did not go down well with a section of social media users.
Several netizens slammed the players for mocking disabled people.
On Monday, Harbhajan took to Instagram and issued an apology. He also explained that the players had no intention to hurt anyone.
“Just wanted to clear to our people who are complaining about our recent videos of Tauba Tauba on social media after winning the championship here in England. We didn’t want to hurt anyone’s sentiments. We respect every individual and community And this video was just to reflect to our bodies after playing continues cricket for 15days. SORE bodies.. we r not trying to insult or offend anyone.. still if people think we hv done something wrong,” he wrote.
Harbhajan added, “All I can say from my side SORRY to everyone..plz let’s stop this here and move forward. Stay happy and healthy. Love to all.”
