India Champions beat Pakistan Champions by five wickets in the final of the first-ever World Championship of Legends (WCL) at Edgbaston.
After winning, ex-cricketers Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina, and Yuvraj Singh showed up in a video to celebrate. They danced to the hit song “Tauba Tauba” while pretending to limp. This didn’t sit well with para-badminton star Manasi Joshi, who said they were making fun of people with disabilities. Arman Ali, who runs the National Centre to Help Disabled People Get Jobs (NCPEDP), wasn’t happy either. He went to the cops at Amar Colony police station to complain about what the cricketers did.
Harbhajan went on social media to talk about the drama saying the video wasn’t supposed to hurt anyone. He explained that the limping was to show how achy they were from playing cricket for 15 days. But he said sorry to people who thought it was mean and asked everyone to just move on.

“Our bodies hurt after 15 days of legends cricket… Everything aches. We were just having a good time with the Tauba Tauba dance. What a SONG,” said the words under the video.
