3 Indian cricketers who got banned from IPL for unexpected reasons
The Indian players who were banned from the team without involvement in corruption or spot-fixing scandals.
2. Harbhajan Singh (2008)
There is no doubt that Harbhajan Singh is one of the most legendary spinners of Indian cricket and has had a fairly successful IPL career as well. However, the 2008 season was not one of the best years for him as he was straight away banned for the rest of the season after the infamous slap gate controversy with S Sreesanth during a match between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings). This was another on-field conflict the off-spinner would not want to remember.
Despite what happened in 2008 Harbhajan still went on to have great seasons and ended up with 150 wickets in 163 matches. He also went on to win four IPL titles, winning three with the Mumbai Indians and one with the Chennai Super Kings in 2018. Sreesanth and Harbhajan also played many games for India together and also won the 2011 World Cup with the Men in Blue squad. Both the cricketers have now sorted out the differences and share a bond of friendship.
