Harbhajan called time on his cricket career in December 2021. Post his retirement, the off-spinner didn’t mince words when talking about his ouster from the national team. During an interview, he said that he feels that other former players could have played a few more years, had they received the same backing from the team management as someone like former India captain MS Dhoni got.<\/p>\n While the comment was perceived by many as an outburst of Harbhajan towards the team management and Dhoni — who was the leader of the team towards the second half of Harbhajan’s international cricket career, many presumed that the relationship between the two was not good.<\/p>\n In his latest interview, Harbhajan has clarified that he holds no grudge against Dhoni and said that both of them are very good friends.<\/p>\n “Why would I have a problem with MS Dhoni? We played a lot of cricket for India and we have been very, very good friends, and still, we are. He became busy with his life, and I became busy with mine, and we don’t meet very often. But there’s no rift whatsoever,” said Harbhajan on Sports Yaari.<\/a><\/p>\n “Talking about the rumours of rift, he hasn’t taken away my property (laughs). But yes, I am interested in some of his properties, especially his farmhouse,” he added.<\/p>\n MS Dhoni called time on his international career in 2020, however, he continues to stay active in Indian Premier League. The wicketkeeper-batter will next be seen in action in IPL 2023, starting March 31.<\/p>\n
