The decision to team up Harbhajan Singh with Sreesanth has brought plenty of delight for the supporters of the game, as the duo have put behind the infamous ‘slapgate’, when Harbhajan slapped Sreesanth after one of the IPL matches in 2008.

Back in 2008, Harbhajan used to play for Mumbai Indians, whereas Sreesanth used to play for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings). Both players also reportedly did not talk to each other for a long time after the incident. However, the recent video appears to show that both the former India bowlers have buried the past.

The 2023 IPL kicks off on March 31

With the excitement for the upcoming edition of the IPL building up, fans are up for a blast thanks to many significant changes to almost every aspect of the competition. With the addition of the impact player rule, several new additions to the squads, and a gripping commentary line-up, the 16th edition of the competition shows a lot of promise.
