Following their win in World Championship of Legends, Harbhajan shared a video on Sunday featuring himself, teammates Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, and Gurkeerat Singh Mann limping while grooving to the latest Bollywood chartbuster, "Tauba Tauba." Harbhajan captioned the post, "Body ki Tauba Tauba ho Gayi in 15 days of legends cricket. Every part of the body is sore," tagging Vicky Kaushal and Karan Aujla, the actor and singer of the original song.
