Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth
One of the most discussed of all the confrontations, Harbhajan and Sreesanth’s on-field altercation grabbed a lot of media limelight, even though the actual incident was never ever shown on the live telecast.
After his team’s victory against the Mumbai Indians, the cameras caught Sreesanth crying inconsolably, with teammates around trying their best to calm him. Reports then started coming out that Harbhajan had apparently slapped Sreesanth with the back of his hand, the reason for which is still to be cleared.
After a disciplinary hearing, Harbhajan was suspended for the rest of the tournament and was even handed a fine. Years later, Sreesanth came up with a new twist to the saga by claiming that the incident was actually a planned one and that Harbhajan had elbowed him, the truth of which, he further revealed, was not released by the IPL.
