IPL 2018: 5 times things turned ugly in the tournament

#4 Harbhajan Singh vs S Sreesanth

The notorious 'Slapgate' incident in IPL 2008

Who could have imagined that an IPL match would end in a bowler bitterly crying after being slapped by his India teammate? The notorious 'Slapgate' incident in IPL 2008 grabbed eyeballs and landed Indian off-spinner, Harbhajan Singh in a major controversy.

Singh, who had been playing for the Mumbai Indians side, had allegedly found a comment made by Kings XI Punjab pacer, S Sreesanth unsavoury and in response, had slapped him on-field.

Visuals showed the tear-streaked face of Sreesanth at the end of the match, and the then KXIP captain, Yuvraj Singh went on to term the incident as "ugly". However, the duo sorted it out eventually when Singh apologised to Sreesanth in the dressing room after the conclusion of the match.
