"A lot of people think I am jealous of you, those people can think whatever they want to, but you are the best off-spinner that is playing the game right now, I also like Australia's Nathan Lyon, he is right up there, he plays in Australia and it is a tough place to bowl, you are the legend in making, you are making the country proud, I wish you take more wickets going forward," Harbhajan told Ashwin during the Instagram Live session.
