Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh revealed a shocking incident which took place more than 10 years ago.
In 2004, Team India toured Pakistan to play a series. During this tour, Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar has abused Harbhajan Singh several times on the cricket field. On one occasion, He even manhandled Bhajji and Yuvraj Singh.
In a news channel interview, Harbhajan Singh told: 'Shoaib Akhtar used to move closely with us. May be, He used to do it to know what we would speak. One day, Akhtar warned Me that he would bash me in my room. I dared to challenge him. Thereafter, Akhtar came to my room..assaulted me and Yuvraj. We were unable to control him as he strongly built'.
Responding on these reports, Shoaib Akhtar confirmed that this incident too place during the match played at Rawalpindi. He, however, made it clear that everything was done just for fun and its no big deal. He claims to have treated both Bhajji and Yuvraj as his younger brothers.
