Team India's former veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh is known for his outspokenness and does not shy away from expressing his feelings. However, sometimes their hot temper also comes to the fore and they get embroiled in fights. This was seen many times on the field, but now sometimes this is seen on social media too. Once again something like this happened, where he had an argument with a cricket fan. This debate took place regarding Team India captain Rohit Sharma, who was dropped from the Sydney Test. In this debate, Harbhajan also targeted Team India's legendary former captain MS Dhoni through gestures.
Captain Rohit was not included in the playing eleven for the Sydney Test match being played between India and Australia. Rohit was dropped from this match due to poor form. However, Team India said that Rohit himself had taken this decision in the interest of the team because he was not able to score runs. On Saturday, the second day of the match, Rohit Sharma also gave an interview to broadcaster Star Sports and in this he told that he is not one to put the team in trouble and always thinks for the welfare of the team.
When a cricket fan raised questions on Rohit's interview, Harbhajan replied that first he should listen to Rohit Sharma's entire interview properly. Harbhajan also said that what Rohit did (dropping himself) was not done by any Indian captain even after losing many series abroad and not scoring runs. Harbhajan did not take the name but the reference was towards MS Dhoni, who had lost the Test series in England and Australia in 2011-12.
Plz listen to my full interview first and rohit sharmas interview today on Starsports before u open ur mouth. What he has done None Indian captain ever thought of despite of losing series after series Abroad and without scoring runs. There is a difference. He is a Leader. https://t.co/1kbX2LTDcD

After this, another user raised questions on Rohit and said that leaders do not run away from the middle of the field. This user described Dhoni as a real leader and said that he had shown the strength to oust senior players. To this Harbhajan replied and wrote, “I know who ran away…should I remind you? I will also tell you the reason. “Goosebumps will stand on end.” Once again Harbhajan did not take the name but he was referring to the 2014-14 Australia tour, in which Dhoni had retired after the Melbourne Test in the middle of the series.

Harbhajan's relations with MS Dhoni have not been good and for a long time he has been giving statements about Dhoni through gestures. Although Harbhajan spent a large part of his cricket career playing with Dhoni and under his captaincy. He was even a part of Chennai Super Kings in IPL under the captaincy of Dhoni till a few seasons ago.
