'Wah Angrej ki Aulaad': Harbajan Singh attacks Indian fan for calling Hindi commentary 'cringe'
Former Indian bowler Harbajan Singh slammed back at an Indian fan who called Hindi cricket commentary one of the "most cringeworthy things" on the earth, so Harbajan has accused him of being ashamed of his language.
The fan commented on a photo which was posted by cricketer where he posed outside of a hotel in Dubai with a caption 'jeet ka Jashnn'. He posted that photo a day after India won the match against Pakistan in a Champions Trophy match. The fan wrote that 'Hindi commentary can rank among the most cringiest things on this beautiful blue planet'.

Harbajan's reply
After when the comment went viral and came into focus, Singh replied sharply, Harbajan Singh wrote 'Wah Angrej ki aulaad' Shame on you you should feel proud while speaking or listening to your own language.

Over a million views, the post has sparked up a gust of reactions on X (Twitter) Several users have baked the Indian fan with one of them saying ' he is talking about quality of Hindi commentators doing commentary and he isn't talking about Hindi language'. The other one said 'No one is criticizing the language. Hindi commentators are cringy and do not offer any valuable insights and they are not even neutral.
"cringiest" itself is a superlative. You don't need to add "most"! First learn one language thoroughly, before you decide to mock another!!

While others bashed him brutally saying 'first learn one language thoroughly, before you decide to mock another! as cringiest is itself a superlative so no need of adding most'.
What next?
There are different views of different fans, some like hindi commentary some don't but does the hindi commentatoras need to change their way of commentary or continue with the same style they have been doing?
