It has been 17 years since “Slapgate”, one of the most controversial cases in IPL history.

Due to which Sreesanth’s wife got angry over both of them.
What happened on the field?
Lalit Modi released this video during a conversation at Michael Clarke’s podcast Beyond 23 Cricket. In this, the incident appears when Harbhajan slapped Sreesanth after the match was over. Modi said that at that time the cameras of the ground were closed and only one of his security camera was on. After the match was over, the players of both teams were joining hands. Meanwhile, when Bhajji and Sreesanth came out, Harbhajan licked him with a reverse hand. After this, he also banned Harbhajan for 11 matches.
Sreesanth’s wife’s anger exploded
After the video surfaced, Sreesanth’s wife Bhuvaneshwari became angry in anger. He wrote in the Instagram story, laying Lalit Modi and Clarke, “Lalit Modi and Michael Clarke, you should be ashamed. You are just raising the 2008 incident for cheap popularity and views. Both Sreesanth and Harbhajan have now moved forward in their lives, now they are the father of children. Now they are the children of children. In such a situation, the old wounds are inhuman and in such a way, so the old wounds are extremely inhuman and dormant work.”
Bhuvaneshwari further said that Sreesanth has crossed the challenges of life and made a new beginning with his dignity, but with such activities, the family is again facing old shock. He further said, “This is hurting not only the players, but also their innocent children. They are facing embarrassment and questions without any mistake.”
“Should be prosecuted” – Bhuvaneshwari
Expressing his displeasure, he said, “To do such a cheap and inhuman work, you should run a case on both. Any kind of video cannot take away his dignity from Sreesanth. Families and children should be afraid of God before hurting.”
Daughter refused to salute Harbhajan
Recently, Sreesanth had also revealed in a podcast that his daughter had refused to salute him during a meeting with Harbhajan after years. This is an indication that the effect of the old incident is still deep on the family.
