Harbhajan Singh and Shoaib Akhtar have had plenty of heated moments on the field as the rivalry between India and Pakistan has often sparked tension between players over the years.
The former India spinner and the Ex-Pakistan pacer — both icons in their own right — are part of a panel of analysts for the 2021 T20 World Cup, and it did not take them long to get into some banter on social media.
“With Mr. I know it all @harbhajan_singh in Dubai for a pre discussion about the mother of all competitions,” Akhtar had tweeted on Sunday.

Harbhajan, never one to back down, came up with a stinging retort.
“When u have 400 plus test wickets am sure you know more about cricket then someone with less then 200 wickets (sic),” the spinner tweeted.
