Harbhajan Singh Controversies

NCA expulsion in 200

Harbhajan Singh was working with legendary off-spinners Erapalli Prasanna and Srinivas Venkataraghavan on his bowling at that time, but he was thrown out of the National Cricket Academy on disciplinary grounds for his bad behaviour and not following his physical routine. Soon, his sponsorship job with Indian Airlines was revoked due to this.

Monkey Gate

Monkey Gate was Harbhajan’s biggest controversy. Andrew Symonds blamed Harbhajan for calling him “Monkey” in the Sydney test in 2008. This incident made very big headlines, and there was a very big outrage in Australian media against Harbhajan Singh for racism back then. ICC formed a committee and reviewed the incident, and Harbhajan was handed a ban for two tests. Even Australian opener Matthew Hayden insulted him in a radio interview and called him an “obnoxious little weed.”

Slap Gate

In 2008, when IPL was arriving on the global stage, it made very big headlines for its various things, and one of them was Harbhajan’s famous slap gate. Harbhajan Singh was again in the headlines at that time as after Mumbai Indians vs Kings XI Punjab match at Mohali, he was caught slapping Sreesanth. Sreesanth was captured with tears in his eyes, and many players also slammed Singh for his behaviour. He had to face very big recuperations as he was banned for the rest of the IPL season and 5 ODIs.  

Khalistan 

In 2021 also recently sparked controversy. In 2020, the Indian Parliament passed a Farm Bill, which was opposed by farmers and various cricketers and celebrities. Harbhajan Singh was one of them. He supported farmers’ demands and wanted the government to revoke the bill. The controversy arose when he posted a picture of “Bhindranwale” who was a controversial Sikh leader and alleged terrorist.

After his story, many politicians and social workers criticized him and labelled him as a “Khalistani Supporter”. Later on, Harbhajan removed that story and issued a public apology saying he didn’t know that picture was of Bhindranwale.
