Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has condemned the act of a few Indian fans after several fans were seen abusing Australian cricketers and their wives after Australia defeated Team India in the final of the Cricket World Cup final on November 19.

Taking to social media platform 'X', Harbhajan said "Reports of trolling of family members of Australian cricket players is completely in bad taste. We played well but lost the final to better cricket by the Aussies. That's it. Why troll the players and their families? Requesting all cricket fans to stop such behaviour. Sanity and dignity are more important."

Glenn Maxwell and Travis Head's wives faced a lot of hate on social media from Indian fans after Head's century propelled Australia to their record-extending 6th World Cup title.
