Former India cricketer and one of the spin legends, Harbhajan Singh has got into the heat of the moment after his remarks made during broadcast in IPL 2025. Featuring in the commentary panel during the second match of IPL 2025, Harbhajan Singh made some alleged racist remark towards Jofra Archer during Rajasthan Royals’ IPL 2025 opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad, played on Sunday, March 23 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
For the unversed, Jofra Archer, who was bought by RR for INR 12.50 Crore at the mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in November last year, had a forgettable day. The English pacer bowled the most expensive over in IPL history, conceding 76 runs in his four-over spell. He surpassed Mohit Sharma, who conceded 73 runs in his four overs while bowling for Gujarat Titans in a match against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024.
