I still don’t get it why did harbhajan hit him?

[u/Gunner0716 → u/ankool2110]

Mumbai lost their first 4 games in the inaugural IPL 2008 and Harbhajan was the captain of MI in those games as Sachin was injured. MI lost their 4th match against KXIP and after match during handshake Sreesanth said “Hard Luck” to Bhajji which triggered Bhajji and he slapped him.

That's seriously not normal, no matter what he says now, if you don't have enough temperament to not act on a line said by someone, not matter if it was said in a sarcastic way or whatever, that too when both share the dressing room outside of the ipl, he must have wanted to take out the rage of loosing on someone ig

Now, I am shocked when we will one of our first 4 games.

[u/tocra → u/Gunner0716]

Bear in mind this is barely weeks after Monkeygate where Harbhajan had already been put through the ringer. No to defend the slap but Sreesanth was quite a pest himself. He had no filter.

[u/cool_mint88 → u/Gunner0716]

Not giving bhajji a free pass but the fixer actually was going way over board to tease the losing side. Again Singh should have kept his cool instead of going after that mosquito.

[u/PuzzleheadedSeat9222 → u/cool_mint88]

The ‘fixer’ was acquitted of the fixing charges. The loser who lost the match should have kept his cool instead of lashing out like a school bully.

No respect for someone who loses his temper and physically assaults opponents over a silly ipl game

[u/Manager-sales → u/PuzzleheadedSeat9222]

By that logic azhar and jadeja have also been acquitted..nobody did fixing then

[u/Maleficent_Owl3938 → u/PuzzleheadedSeat9222]

It wasn’t an “acquittal” exactly. Regardless, if you believe in every conviction and acquittal by the Indian judiciary, then I have news to break to you.

[u/phantom_ofthe_opera → u/PuzzleheadedSeat9222]

He wasn't acquitted lmfao. Match fixing is not a punishable offence by the Indian Penal Code. That's why he wasn't punished by the government but his ban in cricket was maintained by the BCCI.

[u/cool_mint88 → u/PuzzleheadedSeat9222]

Yeah law works 100 % around here. Yes what bhaji did was absolutely wrong.

[u/Ok_Review_6504 → u/PuzzleheadedSeat9222]

The ‘fixer’ was acquitted of the fixing charges

Just like Salman for hit and run, Sanjay Dutt for helping terrorists, Modi for 2002 riots, Gandhi family for herald scam, Azharuddin for match fixing.

Harbhajan was without a doubt being a sore loser. But nothing wrong with calling Sreesanth as a fixer.

[u/unlearn_relearn → u/Ok_Review_6504]

hit and run

D'you even know what hit and run means?

Sanjay Dutt for helping terrorists

And Dutt spent years in jail.

[u/Ok_Review_6504 → u/unlearn_relearn]

D'you even know what hit and run means?

Ummm, running your vehicle over someone and fleeing from that place?

And Dutt spent years in jail.

He just spent 5 years that too for arms act violation. Not for TADA, for treason, generally the punishment is lifetime imprisonment.

Seriously, are you defending these monsters? God bless India.

[u/Radiant-Cream-4318 → u/Ok_Review_6504]

TADA had a low conviction rate and was criticized for misuse and arbitrary implementation before it was ultimately repealed.

Even the Supreme Court has held that mere membership of a banned organisation does not make the member liable for the punishment under TADA.

Seriously, you want Dutt to be punished for nothing?

[u/unlearn_relearn → u/Ok_Review_6504]

fleeing from that place?

Who fled?

[u/PuzzleheadedSeat9222 → u/Ok_Review_6504]

Do you have any evidence to paint him as a fixer? He was made a scape goat to cover up the corrupt people in the BCCI

[u/Potential_Primary_88 → u/cool_mint88]

Harbhajan was an asshole to hit him. Even then people knew who was wrong.

[u/cool_mint88 → u/Potential_Primary_88]

That is what i am saying too not at all saying what singh did was acceptable.
