From Asia Cup to Women’s World Cup, the Indian team had adopted a policy of not shaking hands with Pakistani players. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has not yet given the Asia Cup trophy to Team India. Obviously the feeling of anger among the Indian fans will be at its peak. Meanwhile, former cricketer Harbhajan Singh was seen shaking hands with Pakistani player Shahnawaz Dahani.

This is the case of the ongoing T10 League in Abu Dhabi, where on Wednesday, Harbhajan Singh’s team Aspin Stallions suffered a close 4-run defeat at the hands of Northern Warriors. In April this year, 26 innocent people lost their lives in the Pahalgam terrorist attack, which also affected the game of cricket. Team India did not join hands with Pakistani players even in the Asia Cup and Women’s World Cup.

Therefore, when Harbhajan Singh laughingly shook hands with Pakistani fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani, a big controversy arose. Controversy has also arisen over Harbhajan because he himself has said that India should not play any bilateral series with Pakistan. At the same time, the Indian team did not play the match with Pakistan in the World Championship of Legends. Harbhajan Singh was also one of the cricketers who talked about not playing with Pakistan.

Shahnawaz Dahani gave a match-winning performance, taking 2 wickets for 10 runs. Dahani reached Harbhajan, shook hands with him and there was some conversation between the two. Looking at the viral pictures, it appeared as if Harbhajan Singh was the first to extend his hand for the handshake.

In July – Harbhajan Singh withdrew from the match against Pakistan in the WCL.

In November – Harbhajan Singh was seen shaking hands with Pakistan’s Shahnawaz Dahani in the Abu Dhabi T10 League.

Batsman who scored a century in the 100th Test of his career, how many Indians did this? Know here

A lot of questions are being raised regarding the pitch of Kolkata Test, where the batsmen of India and South Africa were struggling to score runs. This can be gauged from the fact that in all four innings, only Temba Bavuma was able to score a half-century. Harbhajan Singh got so enraged that he even wrote ‘RIP Test Cricket’.

Not only Harbhajan Singh, but many veterans have raised questions on this pitch. Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan also called it a useless pitch. Aaron Finch also reacted to this. Talking about Harbhajan Singh, he posted on X and wrote, “India vs South Africa Test cricket was almost over on the second day itself. What a joke.” Bhajji wrote along with it a hashtag #RIPTESTCRICKET.

Test cricket has been destroyed – Bhajji

Harbhajan Singh, who has been candid about everything, while sharing a video on this, wrote, “Yesterday I had talked about destroying Test cricket in the Kolkata Test. This practice has been going on for many years, this is the wrong way to play. We are not moving forward, just roaming around like the bulls in the same crusher. We are winning but there is no benefit.”

Bhajji further said, “What is the use if the batsmen are getting out not because of the ability of the bowler but because of the pitch. It is bad to see, the way cricket is going on, the match is ending in two and a half days, it is very surprising for me. We lost to New Zealand, then lost this series. We went to England, played such good cricket but then came home and lost.”

Awful pitch in Kolkata… #INDvSA

Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan had posted a post on the second day of the Kolkata Test, calling the pitch useless. He had written, “The pitch in Kolkata is useless.”

Former Australian cricketer Aaron Finch wrote, “What are your thoughts on the kind of wicket we are seeing in Kolkata? I like to see the batsmen standing completely surrounded by the fielders, the ball spinning so much, it is a lot of fun to see it.”

Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh is furious with anger. His photo with his son is going viral on social media. When Bhajji himself saw this, he could not stop himself from reacting. He wrote, whose son is this? Is it AI’s son?

This picture going viral has been prepared with AI, in which Harbhajan Singh is celebrating his son’s fourth birthday. It was written in the caption that Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra are celebrating the fourth birthday of their son Jovan Veer Singh. Cake has also been included in the photo. While sharing its picture on X, Harbhajan Singh wrote in the caption, “Whose son is this, of AI?”

Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh married actress Geeta Basra in 2015. One year, a daughter arrived in their house, whom they named Hinaya Heer Plaha. Their son Jovan was born on 10 July 2021.

Can India-Pakistan match be canceled in the Asia Cup, who takes this decision? Learn what is the rule

18 years had passed, Harbhajan Singh’s video of slapping S Sreesanth remained a mystery. The video of that incident in 2008 was released by Lalit Modi, former chairman of IPL in the year 2025. As soon as this video surfaced, there was panic in the cricket world. After slapping, pictures of S Sreesanth’s cry continued to go viral on the internet for years. Now that everything has come in front, here you know how hard BCCI sentenced Harbhajan Singh 18 years ago.

What punishment did Harbhajan Singh get?

In IPL 2008, Harbhajan Singh, Mumbai Indians and S Sreesanth used to play for King XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings). After the slap incident, the Punjab team complained to the match referee. The match referee Farooqh was an engineer, who found Harbhajan guilty of Level 4.2 under the IPL code of conduct during the investigation.

Harbhajan Singh was banned from the remaining matches of IPL 2008 as a sentence. Another punishment was that he was not given any salary for the 2008 season. As a result, Harbhajan was able to play only three matches in IPL 2008. However, later Harbhajan accepted his mistake and also apologized to Sreesanth.

BCCI also sentenced severe punishment

The Board of Control for Cricket in India also adopted a very strict attitude on the matter. The BCCI’s disciplinary committee found Harbhajan Singh guilty under Rule 3.2.1. He was banned for five ODIs. At the same time, he also got warning that if he does such an act in future, he can be banned for a lifetime.

Lalit Modi has released the actual unseen ground footage of Harbhajan Slapping Sreesanth in IPL 2008.

What is the government thinks that it is their thinking but personally I think it is not right. It is not right. On one side, our soldiers are martyred. On one side, our soldiers are getting martyred. On one side, our soldiers are getting martyred. On one side, our soldiers are getting martyred. What happened in Pahalgam, even then we will not play a good message, even then we will not play a good message.”

However, Harbhajan Singh made it clear that this is his personal opinion and the final decision takes the BCCI and the government. The Asia Cup will be played in 2025 T20 format, which will be held from 9 September to 28 September. In this, a total of 8 teams are divided into 2 groups (4-4).

Now a picture of Harbhajan has created panic on the thinking media, due to which he is being trolled fiercely.

WCL 2025 is being held in England. At the same time, the reason for Harbhajan being trolled is that he has been seen having dinner in a Pakistani restaurant.

WTC finals will not be in India, BCCI’s plan wasted; ICC ruled from 2027 to 2031

After the T20 World Cup 2024, Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of the Indian cricket team. After his coach, Team India has done well in white ball cricket, but the Indian team has been seen struggling in Test matches. After his coach, India has lost against Australia, New Zealand, while now Team India is trailing 1-2 in the series against England. Now Harbhajan Singh has given such a advice, due to which Gautam Gambhir may have to give up coaching.

During the talks with India Today, Harbhajan Singh said that it would not be wrong to consider giving separate coaches to India’s white ball and red ball team, because the teams are different in these formats. Bhajji believes that workloads can be reduced slightly from different coaches in different formats.

Harbhajan Singh said, “I think different coaches can be appointed, there is nothing wrong in this. You have different teams for different formats. If we can do so, this will be the right decision. It will reduce the workload for everyone including coaches.”

India’s legendary spinner believes that a coach needs time to prepare before the series, even if the match is being played in any format. Let us know that India has never implemented ‘Spilate Coaching’, but in the recent past, VVS Laxman has been seen taking charge of coaching. This statement of Harbhajan is giving such a hint that if it is implemented, Gambhir will have to withdraw from the post of coach from at least one format.

If we look at the coaching records of Gautam Gambhir so far, India has won one of the 2 bilateral ODI series so far and has won the title of ICC Champions Trophy. India has won all its T20 series so far in Gambhir’s coaching, but after Gambhir became the coach, India has only won a Test series against Bangladesh.
