A police complaint has also been lodged against these three former cricketers who have retired for this video. In this deleted video, Yuvraj, Harbhajan and Raina are seen limping and holding their backs, which shows how badly their bodies have been affected due to the match. The caption of the video read, 'Body ki tauba-tauba ho gayi hai 15 days ke legend cricket mein...every part of the body is breaking down. Our brothers! A direct challenge to Vicky Kaushal and Karan Aujla with our version of Tauba-Tauba song. What a song.'

Manasi reacted strongly to this and wrote on Instagram, 'You don't know how much damage your behaviour can cause and it is frightening to see the appreciation you are getting from people around. You all have been star players and more responsibility was expected from you. Please don't make fun of the way differently-abled people walk. This is not right.'

After the controversy over this video, Harbhajan Singh issued a post on Instagram and clarified that he did not intend to insult anyone. Ravi Chauhan, President of the Indian Disabled Cricket Council, feels that these cricketers did the right thing by deleting the video. Earlier in the day, National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled (NCPEDP) President Arman Ali complained about these cricketers to the in-charge of Amar Colony Police Station. Along with this, he also complained against Meta India's Vice President and Managing Director Sandhya Devanathan.

Harbhajan Singh has written a post on X in which he has written, "To those who are complaining about our recent video made on the song Tauba-Tauba, I want to make one thing clear that we did not want to hurt anyone's feelings. We respect every person, every community. This video was just to show what happened to our body after playing cricket for 15 days continuously. We were not insulting anyone."

He wrote, "If anyone still feels that we are wrong, then I would just like to say, sorry. Please end it here."
