The video of Harmanpreet correcting the interviewer is getting viral on the internet and the fans are taking a dig at him. The thing which is surprising the viewers is that the anchor is not aware of the name of visiting team captain.
However, it’s not the first time when a Bangladeshi presenter has made everyone question their designation. In the BPL 2023 when Sylhet Strikers won the final Andre Russell and Moeen Ali were asked a few questions which they failed to understand as the prester was speaking very poor English.
