Indian veteran leg-spinner Harbhajan Singh turns 38 today. Amid the flood of greetings and good wishes on social media, the Indian leggie was left surprised and contended by the gesture of a taxi driver in England.
Harbhajan is currently in Manchester for his commentary assignments for India vs England series. While he was on an outing with some of his friends including Ashish Nehra, a taxi driver won Bhajji’s heart. The man played harmonium and sung the birthday song for the legendary Indian cricketer.
While Harbhajan shot the video on his phone, Nehra Ji had already started tapping his feet and his rest of the friends were cheering on their mate’s birthday.
Here’s the video:
The India tour of England begins on Tuesday with the first T20I which is scheduled to be played at Old Trafford in Manchester. Both Harbhajan and Nehra will be the part of the Hindi commentary team during the live coverage.
