Chandigarh, December 5, 2024 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau)-On Wednesday, Harbhajan Singh posted a cryptic social media post that has sparked speculation of a possible rift between him and former Indian captain MS Dhoni. Harbhajan, who shared the stage with Dhoni during India’s historic World Cup victories in 2007 and 2011, dropped a bombshell earlier this week when he revealed that he has not spoken to Dhoni for over a decade.
In a conversation with News18, Harbhajan shared the startling fact that he and Dhoni have not communicated outside the cricket field for more than 10 years. “No, I don’t speak to Dhoni. When I was playing at CSK, that’s when we spoke, but otherwise, we haven’t spoken. It’s been 10 years and more,” Harbhajan said.
He added that during his brief stint with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) from 2018 to 2020, the interaction was strictly professional, limited to on-field discussions. “When we were playing in the IPL at CSK, that’s when we used to talk, and that, too, was restricted to the ground. After that, he did not come to my room, nor did I go to his,” he further explained.
The timing of Harbhajan’s comments coincided with a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter), which further fueled speculation about his strained relationship with Dhoni. Harbhajan shared a message that read, “Strangers can become best friends just as easy as best friends can become strangers.”
Summary: Harbhajan Singh’s cryptic post about “best friends and strangers” fueled rumors of a rift with MS Dhoni, following his revelation that they haven’t spoken in years. The post has sparked widespread speculation.
