The Indian cricket team toured Australia in 2008 and played in the four-match Border-Gavaskar Test Cup. There was a complaint that Harbhajan Singh, the spinner of the Indian team, had insulted the Australian player Andrew Symonds during a Test match in Sydney. This was a major controversy at the time.

Harbhajan Singh has been banned from playing in a match after Australian captain Ricky Ponting complained to the umpire. But the BCCI insisted that if Harbhajan Singh was banned, Australia would cancel the series and return home. So the ban on Harbhajan Singh was lifted without any other option. It was one of the most memorable events in the history of cricket.

The duo then went on to play for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL. Harbhajan Singh is now open-minded about this. In it, ‘I remember an incident that happened when we were in Chandigarh. After we finished playing a match in that series, we both went to my friend’s place. That’s where we hugged for the first time and apologized to each other. We realized then that this problem could have been solved smoothly before. Many Mumbai Indians players took photos of the incident, ”said Harbhajan Singh.

He continued, ‘When the Mumbai team selected us for the first time I wondered why they did this. I was wondering how we were going to play with Symonds. I just hoped he would be angry at me. But we both sat at the same table and started eating. The media wrote that there was a fight between us at that time. But when we played for Mumbai, we felt like we had never had a fight before, ”said Harbhajan Singh.
