That invoked quite a response from Harbhajan Singh, who curtly hit back at the Pakistan fast bowler. In an apt response, the Turbanator tweeted, “When u have 400 plus test wickets am sure you know more about cricket then someone with less than 200 wickets (sic).”

India will be overwhelming favourites for the clash in Dubai, when they face off against Pakistan on October 24. The Men in Blue have never lost to their arch-rivals in the T20 World Cup, winning on all previous occasions against Pakistan. Virat Kohli and Co. will hope that the record continues again, while his rival captain Babar Azam will hope to break the streak when his team takes the field.
