Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Harbhajan Singh may have been released by Mumbai Indians (MI) a couple of years back, but his heart is still with his ex-franchise.

The 39-year-old spinner was asked to pick a franchise between CSK and MI, and Harbhajan named the one he played for 10 years.

"I've played 10 years for Mumbai Indians, it is my life. I can never forget the memories I shared there, the crowd, Wankhede Stadium. My heart is with Mumbai Indians. But now I'm with Chennai Super Kings. I'm grateful for the love that I'm getting here. But I will have to choose Mumbai," Harbhajan said during a live chat on Instagram.

Mumbai had released him after the IPL 2017 win. Not to forget, he had led MI to Champions League T20 win in 2011 without Sachin Tendulkar.

Harbhajan was put in bother with another question of dilemma. He was told to pick between India and England. "You guys are putting me in trouble. I'm from India and my wife (Geeta Basra) is from England. India is my life and so is my wife," Bhajji said.

The veteran spinner shared his opinion on whether the cash-rich league should be played this year or not. 

"I don't think IPL will happen because a lot of people are dying so IPL is not that important at this point in time. Looking after people and saving lives is more important than cricket right now. Cricket can happen next year as well," Harbhajan said.
