 "Won 2 World Cups together, didn’t talk to Dhoni for 10 years… Know the reason")
Harbhajan Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni have won 2 World Cups together for India. First in 2007 and second in 2011. In both, MS Dhoni was the captain and Harbhajan Singh was the star spinner of the team. Both are considered among the greatest cricketers of India. But did you know that Harbhajan Singh and MS Dhoni don’t talk much to each other. The two have not spoken on the phone for 10 years. Harbhajan Singh has revealed this in a podcast.
Harbhajan Singh, who entered politics after a successful career in cricket, made several revelations in a podcast with News18India. In this conversation, he mentioned his friends, talked about his family and also told that he is also working in a film these days. During this entire conversation, when Chennai was mentioned, the topic of MS Dhoni also came up.
The host of the show told Harbhajan Singh that he will have the numbers of all the players who talk to him a lot on his mobile phone. Bhajji’s reply came – yes, almost all the players have numbers. There is a conversation with Ashish (Nehra), Yuvi (Yuvraj Singh). Talking to Dhoni … On this question, Harbhajan says, ‘No. Don’t talk to Dhoni. In response to how long has it been, Bhaji says, ‘When we used to play in CSK, we used to talk only then. But still not on the phone. No phone talk for 10 years.
I have no reason not to talk …
Harbhajan Singh says that for 10 years neither there was any conversation on the phone nor any message. Is there a reason for this… On this question, Harbhajan says, ‘I have no reason. Maybe they have a reason, I don’t know’. Bhajji also said that if he (Dhoni) also had a reason, he would have told it.
Despite being together in CSK, we talked only on the field
Harbhajan Singh says, ‘Even when I was in Chennai Super Kings, I rarely spoke to Dhoni. We used to talk whenever we were in the field. Apart from this, there was no discussion at the hotel or anywhere else. Neither he should come to my room nor I should go to his room. But well, this is not an issue in professional cricket. The team must win. Our team won once and lost once. But playing for the team was fun.
