The most attention grabbing tweet came from his junior and current Indian team’s all rounder Hardik Pandya.

Hardik Pandya who already got in controversy and banned from Indian team for his comment in Koffee with Karan talk show, was criticized by his own followers for his disrespectful comment on a senior player like Zaheer Khan who achieved many things for the country.

Now to our surprise, Zaheer himself responded to Hardik Pandya in a most epic way. The seam bowler gave it back to Hardik Pandya and made him taste his own medicine by replying “Hahahaha….thank you for the wishes @hardikpandya7 my batting skills can never be as good as yours but the birthday was as good as the next delivery you faced from me in this match😉”
