11 MATCH BAN FOR HARBHAJAN SING Just when the cricket world was beginning to enjoy a new-found harmony and camaraderie among international players in the IPL, the unthinkable happened between two Indian players. On Friday night, S Sreesanth was allegedly slapped by Harbhajan Singh after the match between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab came to an end. Sreesanth was seen on camera breaking down in front of his teammates minutes after the Kings XI Punjab team defeated the Mumbai Indians by 66 runs in Mohali. Kings XI Punjab skipper Yuvraj Singh also told the media that "the act" was unacceptable but did not confirm if Harbhajan slapped Sreesanth. "That was unacceptable behavior. But Harbhajan late came to the dressing and spoke with Sree and am sure apologised," Yuvraj said.The coach of Kings XI Punjab, Tom Moody said the matter must be left with the authorities to deal with. "I had a long chat with Sree. This was unacceptable. I don't know what the ramifications will be but I am sure officials will deal with it in their own fashion," he said. When CNN-IBN's Nishant Arora spoke with the two players, both played down the incident. "He didn't slap me. May be the handshake was in the wrong place," Sreesanth said. However, he did let it slip that he was a "little hurt". "It was just a misunderstanding, a part of the game. After all we all play together and share the same dressing room. So I did not take it too seriously and have not much to complain about him (Harbhajan). We all know Bhajji and need not take it seriously. I was a little hurt but am fine with it," he said. He also said Harbhajan apologised later. "I just cried because, I don't know. I am fine, he spoke with me, apologised. But there was no need because end of the day, we play for the same team and we have to go together a long way. Whatever happens in IPL should not be taken too seriously as end of the day it's just entertainment. Whatever happened shouldn't have happened but it's okay," he said. Harbhajan too confirmed this and said they had kissed and made up. "It's not a big issue, people making it an issue. As far as both of us are concerned, the matter is solved. Nothing happened between us. he is like my younger brother and respects me. I did push him, may be just a little too hard, but later apologised. We sat, we talked and it's over. I told him I was sorry if he felt bad. We have been together for so long and have to go a long way. These things are between us. We are over with it." Harbhajan's mother Avtar Kaur says they should talk the matter out. "What can I say, I was not even watching the match. But both of them should resolve their differences and reconcile," she said. IPL Chairman Lalit Modi says the authorities have not received any complain and will take action only after an official complain is lodged. He also said if match referee complains, action will be taken according to the ICC law.

Apr 28, 2008 - Sree's is right, that other wog shouldn't have slapped him. they are team mates, fellow country man - 'brothers'. its not the pain that made him cry, but the shock of a close someone do such thing in the first place.

Apr 29, 2008 - i think some people forget cricket in india is almost as big as religion, if not bigger. having one of the most influential and best known crickets slap you out is a huge deal. especially for the guy who got slapped to begin with.

Apr 29, 2008 - Sreesanth is a bloody idiot...he doesnt have any reputation nd now ruining the team's reputation as well. I'm glad harbhajan slapped him as he undoubtedly deserved it. He has no control over his emotions nd always keeps on provoking players
y2g1983 Says:
Apr 29, 2008 - just because a person doesnt act like a robort and is himself you call him a idiot? Think about!!!
y2g1983 Says:
Apr 29, 2008 - OTT with the comments, just because Asian-men show emotions doesn't mean that they are pathetic, and being slapped by a guy you traveled half the world with representing your nation means alot!!!
tranzoditty Says:
Apr 29, 2008 - Oh com'on dude....are all the players in cricket r robot....look at players like andre nel nd Brett Lee..they do have aggresion but they dont make themselves look like an idiot on the field. No one likes the way Sreesant celebrates when he gets a wicket and now bawling on the middle of field for a slap. Thats totally preposterous
eddiegrt Says:
Apr 29, 2008 - Fact is, India has the world's two most obnoxious, repulsive, in your face offensive cricketers in Harbhajan and Sreesanth. These two really dont know how to play "The gentleman's game".
martsutube Says:
Apr 29, 2008 - SPOT ON EDDIEGRT. Perfectly said.

mekoolz Says:
Apr 30, 2008 - well if that is true, i feel embarrassed by this bunch of Indians. I and almost all of my friends proudly boast to be from India. One more thing, I think that the newer generation is feeling more comfortable with identifying themselves with India because of the country's increasing contribution to the world economy and politics.
y2g1983 Says:
Apr 30, 2008 - whoa always provoking players? What are the aussie's famous for they do more than just provoke players! You got your own opinion off sreesanth which i dont like but i cant change but nobody deserves to be slapped by their team-mate because in India once your a unit it really is like your like family and being hit but Harbhajan a senior player is very bad for morale.
y2g1983 Says:
Apr 30, 2008 - I agree mate! Cricket in India is a very big deal and everyday life for people in india.
aroeldon Says:
Apr 30, 2008 - AN PROFESSIONAL ELDER BROTHER DOESNT SLAP HIS YOUNGER BROTHER WHEN MILLIONS ARE WATCHING, INDEED HE WOULD POLITELY TALK AND ADVISE HIM TO A VERY LARGER EXTENT...While with theSE GUYS, they both acted like street hooligans(if you read this, please comment on this...)
tranzoditty Says:
Apr 30, 2008 - U'r probably right that Harbhajan shudnt have slapped him. But u got to understand that Sreesanth provoked him and he got slapper for his own behaviour. Harbhajan cud have slapped someone else but it was sreesanth because he is the one who deserves a slap for his stupid aggresion
boxingnumber1 Says:
Apr 30, 2008 - guys stop bringing race or anything in, your brother, dad, cousin or somebody slapped u doesn't mean u don't like him. There close.
nirat24 Says:
Apr 30, 2008 - jjali..."indian homos"...you are a homo
y2g1983 Says:
Apr 30, 2008 - I agree your right both where not the professional they should be at this level but what is more important is the bond of the players because these guys young and have a bright future ahead of them if they stop behaving childish in public.
