Troll tries to teach Harbhajan Singh a lesson on Sikhism, Turbanator SMASHES him out of the park – You don’t mess with Bhajji.

Harbhajan Singh is enjoying a rich vein of form in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017. The veteran off-spinner has been bowling at his economical best and has played a pivotal role in his side Mumbai Indians (MI) being at the top of the points table at the moment.
Bhajji, though, seems to be in fine form off the field as well. Indian cricketer fans are well aware of the fact that Harbhajan is a passionate man and wears his heart on his sleeve. A glimpse of that was on display a couple of nights ago, when Bhajji celebrated wildly after dismissing Rising Pune Supergiant skipper Steve Smith having dropped his catch in the previous over. The man from Punjab has always been one of the more fiery personalities in Indian cricket and has never backed down from a challenge.
It didn’t come as a surprise then to see Harbhajan shut down a troll who tried to teach him a lesson on Sikhism. In a world where social media can be extremely intrusive, it’s hard to control what bigots can do hiding behind their online identities.
A random Twitter user tried to force his views about Sikhism on Harbhajan after the latter posted a congratulatory message for his MI team-mates after their victory over Delhi Daredevils.
Wear this like turban in your TV programs. Have mercy on Sikhism

Harbhajan, though, gave it back like a boss when he asked the troll not to tell people what to and what not to do.

The troll then tried to sheepishly dodge the barrage of criticism that was thrown at him.
I request to all don't make it a issue. It was simply my wish which I put before Harbhajan. Kindly stop tweeting
