On orange jersey row, Harbhajan cautions against mixing politics, sports

New Delhi [India]: Amid the controversy over Indian team’s orange colour jersey in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, ace-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Monday cautioned against mixing politics and sports.
The Indian bowler, in a video posted on his YouTube channel, questioned how a team can lose a match because of the colour of their jersey.
As soon as India sported orange colour on its cricket jersey against England in the ongoing ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, many politicians started criticising the team’s decision and said the side had deliberately opted for saffronisation of the jersey.
However, Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh lashed out at the critics of the jersey and urged people not to mix sports with politics.
