Virender Sehwag, the fearless opener who terrorized bowlers in his prime, recently spilled some hilarious tea about his old teammate Harbhajan Singh. Speaking during an IPL 2025 clash between Lucknow Super Giants and, well, Lucknow Super Giants (talk about a plot twist!) at Eden Gardens, Sehwag took fans down memory lane with a cheeky story about Bhajji’s fiery side.
Sehwag didn’t hold back, painting a vivid picture of Harbhajan’s on-field tantrums. “Bhajji would lose it at legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and VVS Laxman if they let a ball slip past the boundary,” Sehwag said on Star Sports. “Even if it was miles away, he’d still flip out. But when he messed up a stop? Oh, that was totally fine!” Classic Bhajji, right?
Sehwag, known for smashing triple centuries and taking on the world’s best bowlers in Test cricket, shared a laugh about Harbhajan’s double standards. It’s the sort of banter that reminds us why these two had such a dynamic duo. Together, they helped India win the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup — glory days that secured their legacy.
But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. After their heroics on home soil in 2011, both stars found themselves sidelined from the national team. Still, stories like these show the spark and spirit that made them fan favorites.
Sehwag’s revelation gives us a peek behind the curtain of India’s golden era—a time when tempers flared, boundaries flew, and friendships thrived through it all.
