During the conversation, the Pakistani anchor asked a question on the announcement made by Jay Shah that India will not be traveling to Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023.
The decision of the ACC Chief was to move the tournament out of Pakistan and stage it somewhere at a neutral venue wasn’t received well as the authorities at the other end of the border continued to cause chaos.
When the Pakistani anchor tried to counter, Harbhajan stepped in to offer his point of view, and the argument started rising.
The whole debate went to another level when the anchor started talking about India’s decision not to tour Pakistan for next year’s Asia Cup.
The anchor went on to say that if it were to be a World Cup played in Pakistan, the Indian team will travel here for sure. To which the member of Rajya Sabha, came up with a fiery reply.
As he said, “Ramiz Raza had given a statement last year that Pakistan Cricket does not have the kind of money and that they need to look towards the BCCI.
“Who is asking you? If you don’t want to play in the ICC event, it’s your call. If our players are not safe there, we won’t send them. Don’t play if that’s what you want.”
Ahead of the India-Pakistan match, the cricket commentator further added, “Of course, we have (security concerns).
“You tell me that you’ll take the guarantee? Indian cricket can still survive without Pakistan, and if you guys can survive without Indian cricket, do it.”
After which, the Pakistani anchor went on to “challenge” Singh in a live TV show.
The Pakistan’s TV anchor went on to say that, “Harbhajan sahab abhi keh rahe hain, ‘Hum nahi aayenge’.
“Mera inko challenge hai. agar ICC ka tournament, woh bhi World Cup Pakistan mein hua, ye na aaye toh mujhe bataye.
However, Singh seemed to be pretty confident. As he replied, “India won’t come to Pakistan.”
The whole show didn’t go well as the two time World champion bowler didn’t hesitate even a bit to lash out at the Pakistani anchor for his remarks.
Harbhajan even went on to accept the opponents’ challenge as he said, “Toh le Liya Bhai tera challenge which literally means, I accept your challenge, bro.
