IPL Slapgate | ‘You kill my father …’: Harbhajan Singh revealed cricket news with Sreesanth’s daughter to disintegrate a heart
Former India-spinner Harbhajan Singh revealed an emotional conversation with the daughter of his former team partner Sreesanth.Harbhajan opened about how he was released when he told him that he did not want to talk to him because he killed his father during the 2008 edition of the IPL. Playing for Mumbai Indians, Harbhajan slapped Kings Xi Punjab (now Punjab Kings) Sreesanth at the end of a match.Speaking on R Ashwin’s YouTube show hut stories, Harbhajan said, “One thing I want to convert to my life is that incident with Sreesanth. I want to remove that incident from my career.”“This is the event that I will change from my list. Whatever was wrong was wrong, and I should not have done what I did. I apologized 200 times.“I felt very bad about that even after years of that incident, I am apologizing to every occasion or stage. It was a mistake. We all make mistakes, and we hope and do not try to repeat such mistakes.“He was my team partner, and we were playing together. Yes, we were opposed to the game. But it should not go to the level where we treated this way.
“So yes, it was my fault, and his only mistake was to incite me – but it was fine, really. However, what I did was not right. I said, ‘Sorry’,” Harbhajan said.“I got even more hurt, years later, when I met his daughter. I was talking to her with a lot of love, and he said,” I don’t want to talk to you. You hit my father. ” My heart was shattered, and I was on the verge of tears.“I kept asking myself – what kind of impression have I left on him? She must be thinking about me in a poor light, okay? She sees me as a man who killed her father.“I felt very bad. I still apologize to her daughter, knowing what I cannot do.“I hope that when she grows up, she does not see me in the same light. I hope that she sees that her uncle is someone who will always be for her and can support her in some way. That is why I want to remove that chapter, that’s why I want to remove that chapter,” said Harbhajan.
