Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh has reacted to the ugly incident between Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq. The incident happened during the dying moments of the reverse fixture between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore. In the 16th over, things started getting heated. After the intervention of umpires, things paused for a bit. However, after the game continued, the same continued.

Apparently, Naveen refused to shake hands with Kohli and also Gautam Gambhir got involved in all this. After this, the match referee decided to fine 100 percent of Virat and Gambhir’s match fees. On the other hand, Naveen was slapped with a 50 percent fine on his match fees. Meanwhile, Singh condemned the incident and said that this incident shouldn’t have happened.

“I am ashamed of what I did with Sreesanth in 2008. Virat Kohli is a legend, should not get involved in such things. Whatever happened between Virat and Gambhir was not right for cricket,” Singh said on his Youtube channel.

Meanwhile, in the inaugural season of the cash-rich league, Singh was playing for Mumbai Indians. On the other hand, Sreesanth was part of Kings XI Punjab (Now Punjab Kings). After the clash between the two teams during the tournament, something went wrong between them as the game was a cliffhanger.

After a while, the cameras showed Sreesanth crying. Fans got to know after a while that he has been slapped by Singh. Over the years, this incident has been discussed a lot. Notably, both players were part of India’s triumph in the 2007 20-20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup. At this point, both players are retired and are commentating together. Thanks to Singh’s incident in season one, the fans aren’t impressed with him trying to school Kohli.
