By Sports Watch On Mar 12, 2023

Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh and former West Indies opener Chris Gayle are playing Legends League Cricket In Doha at the moment. Harbhajan is part of the India Maharajas led by Gautam Gambhir while Gayle is playing for the World Giants led by Aaron Finch.

In the second match between the India Maharajas and the World Giants, both the former cricketers have had many battles in the past in international and IPL cricket and had another one in this game.

Winning the toss, the World Giants opted to bat first. Chris Gayle and Aaron Finch opened the batting. Knowing Gayle’s weakness against spin, India Maharajas skipper Gautam Gambhir gave the ball to Harbhajan.

The former Indian spinner did not disappoint as in the very second ball of his over, he bowled him round his legs, much to the disbelief of Gayle and the other Indian fielders.

Gayle had looked to paddle the ball around but seemed to be rather late to it as it crashed onto the leg stump. The former West Indies captain seem to take a couple of seconds to process the dismissal while Harbhajan himself looked quite stunned. Wicketkeeper Robin Uthappa, meanwhile, could not control his laughter as he hugged his bowler.
