Harbhajan Singh temporarily suspended from IPL

The suspension means Harbhajan Singh, who is the stand-in captain for the Mumbai Indians, will not be able to play for the team against Deccan Chargers tomorrow in Mumbai.

There would be an enquiry into it on Monday in Delhi, but Bhajji will not be able to take part in the IPL pending resolution of the issue.

Temperamental off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was on Saturday suspended pending his explanation for slapping his Indian teammate S Sreesanth at the end of an IPL match at Mohali on Friday night and appears headed for a severe punishment which can be a minimum of a ban for five Test matches or 10 one-day internationals.

Upset over the controversy generated by the altercation between cricketers Harbhajan Singh and S Sreesanth, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has issued a showcause notice to Harbhajan, asking him to respond by Monday. Harbhajan has been asked explain why disciplinary action should not be taken against him for allegedly slapping Sreesanth on Friday night.

Harbhajan Singh Slaps Sreesanth

Mumbai Indian stand-in captain Harbhajan Singh downplayed the controversy regarding him allegedly slapping S Sreesanth to bring the Kings XI Punjab pacer to tears, saying the issue “had been sorted out”.

Yet again the two bad boys are back in the frame. This time it was after the King’s XI Punjab won their tie against the Mumbai Indians. It is learnt that all the players shook hands after the match and Sreesanth did the same thing. He is learnt to have said “Hard Luck mate” to Harbhajan Singh which sparked the spinner and Harbhajan Singh hit Sreesanth right below the eyes.

After the game, Sreesanth was seen in tears. Later Harbhajan Singh visited the team dressing room and apologised for his behaviour. As such, no official complaint has been lodged but it is also learnt that Sreesanth went and complained to his team owners, Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia about this incident. While Harbhajan Singh avoided answering to questions related to this incident, Yuvraj Singh and Tom Moody were really undone and regarded this as an ” Ugly incident”.

It will be interesting to see what actions IPL will take against the off-spinner if an complaint is lodged and if he’s found guilty.

Indian Premier League : Deccan felled by Sehwag fireworks

What an explosive knock from Virender Sehwag. 94 off 41 balls, 10 fours, 6 sixes and he took a special liking to Symonds, pasting him for 30 in his last over. Delhi look the team to be, if I may say so, with a perfect blend of youth and experience. A top-class opening duo of McGrath and Asif proved too much, and Maharoof, Bhatia and Yo Mahesh kept it decent.

Virender Sehwag becomes the first Indian to win the Man of the Match in the IPL.

Indian Premier League : Chennal Vs Mumbai : Chennai wins against Mumbai in thriller

We can safely say this has been the game of the tournament so far. Hayden said at the interval that 208 would be a par score and Mumbai really ran them close. So Mumbai end on the losing side of another nail-biting contest. They looked to be trailing behind by a long way but spirited knocks from Nayar and Bhajji in the end got them close. Harbhajan fell at a crucial juncture and eventually Mumbai fell short by 6 runs. It’s never easy batting under such pressure in the bull-ring like atmosphere at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The crowd were as sportive as ever and never went quiet at any stage, even when Harbhajan and Nayar were clobbering it around.
