Harbhajan Singh had landed himself into a huge controversy after he slapped S Sreesanth during one of the matches in the Indian Premier League. The incident took place in a match between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab back in 2008.

Eleven years down the line, Harbhajan recently recalled the incident and said that he still regrets about it.

“If I have to go back and rectify something in life, I would correct that as I should not have done that. That is a mistake and I am sorry about it. It shouldn’t have happened,” Harbhajan said in an interview to Madan Gowri on Behind Woods Air.

“He (Sreesanth) is a top guy and he had so much of skill. My best wishes to Sreesanth and his wife … Lot of love to Sreesanth and whatever people may say, I am still your brother,” he added.

Apparently, Harbhajan had got angry over Sreesanth's aggressive send-off to Mumbai batsmen in that particular clash. Incidentally, Singh had led MI in that match in the absence of regular skipper Sachin Tendulkar.

After KXIP’s victory, Sreesanth came out of the field and then Harbhajan vented his frustration on the speedster. Although the clip of the entire incident isn’t there, people watched the match did witness a fuming Harbhajan and an emotional Sreesanth breaking down on the TV screen. The event is now popularly known as IPL "slapgate."
