On 'Rift Rumours' With MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh's Brilliant Response

Harbhajan Singh has opened up on his relationship with former India skipper and teammate MS Dhoni, amid the rumours of a rift between the two. Harbhajan called time on his cricket career in December 2021. Post his retirement, the off-spinner didn't mince words when talking about his ouster from the national team. During an interview, he said that he feels that other former players could have played a few more years, had they received the same backing from the team management as someone like former India captain MS Dhoni got.

While the comment was perceived by many as an outburst of Harbhajan towards the team management and Dhoni -- who was the leader of the team towards the second half of Harbhajan's international cricket career, many presumed that the relationship between the two was not good.

In his latest interview, Harbhajan has clarified that he holds no grudge against Dhoni and said that both of them are very good friends.

"Why would I have a problem with MS Dhoni? We played a lot of cricket for India and we have been very, very good friends, and still, we are. He became busy with his life, and I became busy with mine, and we don't meet very often. But there's no rift whatsoever," said Harbhajan on Sports Yaari.

"Talking about the rumours of rift, he hasn't taken away my property (laughs). But yes, I am interested in some of his properties, especially his farmhouse," he added.

MS Dhoni called time on his international career in 2020, however, he continues to stay active in Indian Premier League. The wicketkeeper-batter will next be seen in action in IPL 2023, starting March 31.

156.7 Kmph Sensation Awaits India Debut, Bangladesh Start Life After Shakib

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav is expected to unleash his raw speed while the absence of India's T20 regulars will provide another opportunity to the fringe players in the three-match series against Bangladesh, beginning here Sunday. Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T...

PCB Not Happy With Pak Star Over Social Media Post On Babar Snub: Report

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not pleased that Fakhar Zaman questioned the selection panel's decision to sideline Babar Azam from the Test side. The panel dropped former captain Babar Azam when they announced the squad for the remaining two Tests against England in Multan and Rawalpindi. Zaman took to X to question the decision, inviting the ire of the PCB. "The top board officials are not pleased with the tweet sent out by Fakhar and relevant persons are having a word with him about it," a well-informed PCB source said. "It's concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn't bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. "If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deeply negative message across the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; we should focus on sa...

Gardner Shines Again As GG Register Six-Wicket Win Over UPW In WPL 2025

Skipper Ashleigh Gardner starred with both bat and ball, leading Gujarat Giants to a comprehensive six-wicket win over UP Warriorz in their Women's Premier League match in Vadodara on Sunday. Gardner (2/39) claimed two wickets and then scored a stylish 32-ball 52, her second consecutive fifty, as Gujarat registered their first win of the third edition of the tournament, following a loss in the opening game to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Opting to bowl, Gujarat produced a clinical effort with young spinner Priya Mishra returning impressive figures of 4-0-25-3. Skipper Gardner, Deandra Dottin (2/34), and Kashvee Gautam (1/15) also played key roles in restricting UPW to 143 for nine. Chasing 144 to win, the Giants were reduced to 22 for 2 with opener Beth Mooney and Dayalan Hemalata back in the pavilion after UPW introduced spin at both ends. However, Gardner produced an inspired knock, adding 55 runs off 42 balls with Laura Wolvaardt (22) to resurrect the innings. Gardner struck t...
