Sreesanth and Harbhajan were embroiled in a huge scuffle during an IPL game

In the inaugural season of the IPL, Sreesanth sledged Robin Uthappa and Shaun Pollock while bowling. The Mumbai Indian captain Harbhajan Singh got irritated and angry. After the match got over, he slapped Sreesanth who then burst into tears.

Harbhajan received a lot of flak after this incident and was banned from the rest of the tournament. The team manager Lalchand Rajput was also fined 50 percent of his match fee. The off-spinner subsequently apologized publicly. But this incident remained as a blot in his career.
