India Champions recently won the final of the inaugural World Championship of Legends (WCL) by defeating Pakistan Champions.

After the match, the players including former cricketers Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh, hopped on the ongoing Tauba Tauba trend and created a reel.

In the video, they all jokingly limped while dancing to the popular song. However, their reel did not go down well with a section of social media users.

Several netizens slammed the players for mocking disabled people.

“Just wanted to clear to our people who are complaining about our recent videos of Tauba Tauba on social media after winning the championship here in England.
