Another cricketer from Punjab who had a golden cricketing career. His career had some good as well as bad memories. Some of the bad ones are those sledging incidents which later on led to a fight.

Nicknamed Bhajji, Harbhajan Singh is also known as one of the most aggressive players of the Indian cricket team. During the Test series between India and Australia in 2008, Bhajji became a part of a sledging event which initially got him banned for three matches.

While batting along with Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan tried to smash a four, but the ball went into Lee’s hand and Andrew Symonds hailed it as his hard luck. This led to a heated conversation between these two players. In reply to Symond’s sledging, Harbhajan addressed him as Monkey for the second time which resulted in a three-match ban.
