Amidst reports of a rumored fallout, Harbhajan Singh clarified that he shares a cordial relationship with MS Dhoni, with whom he has played for years in the Indian team and the IPL. Despite their busy schedules, Harbhajan affirmed that they maintain a strong bond despite meeting infrequently. He said:
“Why would I have a problem with MS Dhoni? We played a lot of cricket for India and have been very, very good friends, and still are. He became busy with his life, and I became busy with mine, and we don’t meet very often. But there’s no rift whatsoever.
“As far as I know, he hasn’t taken away any of my properties (laughs). But yes, I am interested in some of his properties, especially his farmhouse.”
In addition to representing the Indian cricket team, Harbhajan Singh and MS Dhoni were also teammates in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) during the Indian Premier League (IPL). Harbhajan played for the franchise for three seasons and was a part of their championship-winning squad in 2018.
