Fans across the globe came to witness the high-octane World Cup final match at the world's biggest cricket stadium including Bollywood celebrities.

The two were even sitting next to each other in the stands. But Harbhajan Singh, who was on the Hindi commentary box, made a 'sexist' remark about the two actresses, which has not gone down well with many people on the internet.
While on commentary, Harbhajan said, ''they have no knowledge of cricket they are probably talking about movies.''
Soon after this, Harbhajan is getting flak from everyone on X (formerly Twitter) for his remarks on Anushka and Athiya.
