Harbhajan Singh-Sreesanth Slap Incident: A Look Back at the Controversial IPL Moment

The IPL has been home to many controversies, but few have captured the attention of the cricketing world like the Harbhajan Singh-Sreesanth slap incident. In the first season of the IPL in 2008, Harbhajan Singh slapped Sreesanth. This unexpected act, which occurred after a match between Mumbai and Punjab, left everyone shocked. The event was never captured on video until recently when former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi made it public. Modi described how the incident took place, explaining that it was recorded by his security camera after the official cameras were turned off. The released footage shows Harbhajan Singh approaching Sreesanth during the post-match handshakes and slapping him. The situation was then diffused by Irfan Pathan and Mahela Jayawardene.
