Standing Behind Harbhajan Singh, Fan Asked To Remove Beer Glass From Star Sports Camera Frame

As former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was interacting with the host broadcaster about team India’s approach during the tea break on Day 3, the focus of certain social media users was on one of the fan’s reaction upon being hilariously requested to remove a beer glass from the camera’s sight.

Despite Australia’s dominance in the ICC World Test Championship 2021-2023 final proceedings so far, Indian fans have made sure to turn up in numbers each day. Even in the scorching heat on Day 3, Rohit Sharma‘s men have had the crowd support and the batting unit has made a mini comeback of sorts to at least have their intensity and glimmer of hope intact.

In the midst, one such aforementioned fan had managed to catch the attention of Star Sports Network’s crew member(s), and inadvertently, the entire sequence was caught on camera during live broadcast. Resultantly, it did not take long for one of the Twitter users to record the same to share it on the micro-blogging site.

Fan Asked To Remove Beer Glass From Star Sports Camera Frame

Harbhajan was speaking in the proximity of the boundary cushion at the Kennington Oval when a few fans in the backdrop unintentionally sharing Star Sports camera frame.

However, one of the crew members spotted something objectionable. On a table placed in the spectators’ enclosure was a glass of beer, which was visible in the frame. One of the crew members gestured a fan standing next to the glass to hide it away from the camera sight.

Hilariously, the fan was initially unaware that the request was for him and took some time to make the desired move. That said, a few seconds later, he placed the glass under the table and gave a nice little ‘Thumbs Up’ gesture to the concerned person.

Harbhajan Reckons India Will Need To Restrict Australia Under 150

During the interaction, the 42-year-old was of the view that India will only feel at-ease if they manage to restrict Australia under the score of 150 runs in their second innings.

He further added that that the pace bowling duo of Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj will have to be on top of their game, especially during the first hour of the afternoon session.

It is worth of a mention that, no team has managed to successfully chase down a target in excess of the 300-run mark at Kennington Oval in Test match history.
