Haven’t spoken to MS Dhoni in last 10 years: Harbhajan Singh
Mumbai: In a shocking revelation, cricketer Harbhajan Singh mentioned that he and Mahendra Singh Dhoni have not spoken to each other for over a decade.
The former India teammates, who won two World Cups together in 2007 and 2011, have not spoken to each other in over 10 years, claimed Harbhajan. The popular bowling figure in Indian cricket, who has bagged 417 wickets in 103 Tests, did not elaborate much on the reasons about his differences with Dhoni but mentioned that his interaction with him was limited to on-field talks only during his playing days in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
"No, I don't speak to Dhoni. When I was playing at CSK, that's when we spoke, but otherwise, we haven't spoken. It's been 10 years and more. I have no reason; perhaps he does. I don't know what the reasons are. When we were playing in the IPL at CSK, that's when we used to talk, and that, too, was restricted to the ground. After that, he did not come to my room, nor did I go to his," the former India spinner said in a conversation with News18.
“I don't have anything against him. If he has something to say, he can tell me. But if he did, he would have told me by now," he added.
The former off-spinner also indicated that Dhoni does not respond to his calls. “I only ring up those who pick up my calls. I don’t have the time otherwise. I stay in touch with the ones I am friends with,” he added.
He noted that a relationship is always about give and take. “If I respect you, I hope you will respect me back. Or you respond to me. But if I call you once or twice but don’t get a response, I will probably only meet you as much as I am needed to,” Harbhajan remarked.
The last time Harbhajan and Dhoni represented India together was in 2015 – in an ODI against South Africa. Harbhajan announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in 2021.
