Para-badminton player Manasi Joshi has criticized former Indian cricketers Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Suresh Raina for mocking challenges faced by physically challenged following an Instagram reel of the three went viral on social media.

After winning the WCL 2024, legendary spinner Harbhajan Singh uploaded an Instagram reel on his handle on July 14. In that reel, former cricketers Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, and Harbhajan himself, were seen limping while grooving to the latest Bollywood song, ‘Tauba Tauba.’

Harbhajan captioned the reel: ‘Body ki Tauba Tauba ho Gayi in 15 days legends cricket.. Every part of the body is sore . Straight competition to our brothers @vickykaushal09 @karanaujla our version of Tauba Tauba dance 😜😜 What a SONG 🎶👌💥.’

This isn’t legendary: Para-badminton player Joshi criticized Raina and Harbhajan

Para-Badminton player Manasi Joshi slammed former Indian cricketers Yuvraj, Harbhajan and Raina for acting like physically challenged people.

Manasi made a comment on Harbhajan’s Instagram reel, where she wrote that this isn’t legendary if you are mocking the gait patterns of people with polio. She further stressed that this will lead into bullying of young children who are suffering from different disabilities in India.

“This isn’t legendary if you’re mocking gait patterns of people with polio. This will enable bullying on young children with disabilities in India,” She wrote.

“You don’t know how much harm your behaviour can do and the appreciation you’re getting from people around, it’s appalling to see. This reel of yours is going to encourage that it is ok to make fun of walking patterns of people with disabilities for a few laughs. More young children with disabilities will be bullied by using this reel,” Manasi wrote on Harbhajan’s Instagram reel.

The para-badminton player Joshi further added that she is really disappointed with Harbhajan and Raina and with all the people who are commenting on the reel. Notably, Harbhajan’s reel has gained over 20 million views and 1.5 million likes.

“If any of you athletes would have done responsible community service in disability space area, you all would not have come up with this reel. I’m scared how the PR agencies of these athletes approved this reel for public platform I’m really disappointed in you @harbhajan3 @sureshraina3 and all the people who in comments section who are appropriating this reel,” Joshi concluded.
