Harbhajan Singh, former Indian cricketer, recently revealed that he has not spoken to MS Dhoni for over ten years, shedding light on a rift between the two celebrated stars. In a candid interview, Harbhajan confirmed that, despite their long-standing professional relationship, they have not communicated outside of the cricketing world in the past decade.
Their interactions were mainly confined to their playing time together, especially during their years at Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL.
The revelation is particularly surprising considering the immense success they shared, including key moments in India’s victories in the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup. Despite their on-field success, Harbhajan shared that their off-field relationship was much more distant.
He noted that while they had professional discussions during cricket-related matters, they did not socialize or engage much outside of that environment.
Harbhajan also opened up about his attempts to reach out to Dhoni over the years, which were met with silence. He stressed that for a relationship to thrive, there should be mutual respect and communication. Harbhajan expressed his preference for engaging with people who reciprocate his efforts, and this lack of response led him to focus on his other relationships.
The revelation of this rift has stirred discussions among fans and analysts, with many wondering about the reasons behind the breakdown of communication between two of India’s most iconic cricketers. Despite the silence, Harbhajan made it clear that he holds no ill will towards Dhoni and remains open to any future communication
Harbhajan Singh’s revelation about his strained relationship with MS Dhoni has led to a wave of curiosity and speculation among cricket fans and experts alike. Both players were key figures in India’s golden era of cricket, and their successful partnership, particularly during the 2007 ICC T20 World Cup and the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, cemented their places in the annals of Indian cricket history.
However, despite their shared triumphs on the field, the lack of personal communication between the two raises questions about the complexities of relationships in professional sport.
