Back to the cricket field, with their assignment in the Legends League Cricket, former cricketers Gautam Gambhir and S. Sreesanth triggered a huge controversy. The duo clashed on the field, with Gambhir allegedly calling Sreesanth a 'fixer'. The incident created a huge storm on social media after Sreesanth decided to make some grave allegations against his former India teammate. When Harbhajan Singh, who is one of the finest spinners in India, was asked about the incident, he took a rather diplomatic approach, responding to the question by using a famous dialogue from a Bollywood movie.
In a press conference organised by Legends League Cricket, Harbhajan said, "Bade baad shehro mein chhoti chhoti baatein hoti rehti hain.”
While Harbhajan's take left the reporters in the press conference amused, he was also reminded of the infamous 'slapgate' involving him and Sreesanth. But he wasn't entirely happy to see that incident being dragged into this controversy.
He said, "That is an incident of the past. Let's not bring that up. What happened then was not right, and I don't have any hesitation in saying that the fault was mine. I don't know what happened this time (between Sreesanth and Gambhir). LLC has offered good cricket this year, and it would be better to stick to that only.”
