VIRAL: HARDIK PANDYA SLAMMED BY FANS FOR HIS BIRTHDAY TWEET TO ZAHEER KHAN 

Team India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has always been in trouble, most of the time for the wrong reason. This time too he is again in the spot light, after his birthday wish for Zaheer Khan went viral on social media. 

Former cricketer Zaheer Khan recently celebrated his 41st birthday with family and friends. Wishes for the player endlessly poured in on social media from fans, former teammates and current India cricketers. 

Among all the wishers, Hardik Pandya's greeting stood out after he posted a tweet with a video of him hitting a six off the bowling Zaheer Khan. He captioned the video saying, "Happy birthday Zak ... Hope you smash it out of the park like I did here." 

Fans got offended with his statement and video; minutes later the comments section got flooded after angry fans slammed Hardik for being "disrespectful" and showing no "class". 

Many attacked Hardik on his post while many spoke of Zaheer Khan's achievements and his contribution to Indian cricket.

Not to miss, few fans used former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith's wish for Zaheer to further slam the all-rounder.

According to NDTV sports reports, till date Zaheer Khan has played in 92 Tests and 200 ODIs for the country and picked up 311 and 282 wickets respectively in the two formats.

Hardik Pandya, recently underwent for a lower back surgery in London and is out of the playing field for an indefinite time.

@aayaam_pandey Pandya is the classic example of how fame+money does not guarantee you class! Gawaar aadmi hai ye
