Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh came up with one of the funniest responses when he was asked about his rapport with former teammate and ex-India captain MS Dhoni. Singh, who announced his retirement in December last year, said “I’m not married to him” and opined on his earlier statements as well.
Harbhajan Singh has often been dropped post the 2011 World Cup and in a recent interview to Zee News, he stated that Dhoni enjoyed more backing than other players as well.

“See, everyone interprets a quote differently. I just wanted to convey that a lot of things could have been better post 2012. Sehwag, me, Yuvraj, Gambhir could have retired playing for Indian team since all of them were active in IPL as well. It is ironical that the Champions of the 2011 team never played together again! Why? Only few of them played in 2015 World Cup, why?” questioned Harbhajan Singh in his latest interview with News 18.
The veteran also added it’s not MS Dhoni he has a complaint against, instead Harbhajan Singh pointed fingers at the past selectors, who didn’t do their job properly.

“I have no complaints against MS. In fact, he has been a good friend all these years. I have complaint to the BCCI, the sarkar (government) of that time. I call BCCI as sarkar. The selectors of that time didn’t do justice to their roles. They didn’t allow the team to be united. What was the point of bringing in new guys when the greats were still around and delivering? I once confronted the selectors on this and their reply was it wasn’t in their hands and then I asked why they are the selectors, then,” Harbhajan Singh concluded.
