"Pehchano To Maane": Harbhajan Singh Shares Pic From 1998/99 U-19 World Cup

Harbhajan Singh on Friday shared a throwback picture from the early days of his career. Harbhajan, who was last seen in action for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) during Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, has been a marathon man throughout his career. Taking to Twitter, Harbhajan shared a picture from his U-19 days, and asked fans to guess the name of the two players alongside him. "Pehchano to maaane...U-19 World Cup days 1998/99," the 41-year-old captioned the image.

In the picture, Harbhajan can be seen posing alongside former Pakistan batter Hasan Raza and a shirtless Imran Tahir. The picture was clicked during the 1998/99 U-19 World Cup, which was played in South Africa.
