The Story in Brief
Harbhajan Singh has said he would choose former India teammate Sreesanth as his roommate, hoping to resolve their long-standing rift. Speaking to PTI, Harbhajan said, “If both of us are in the same room, a lot of things will get solved. You can pick him as my roommate. I have no problems.”
The offer follows Sreesanth's open challenge to Harbhajan for a boxing match after the pair's infamous 'Slapgate' incident during IPL 2008, when Harbhajan slapped Sreesanth. Sreesanth, now involved with the Bear Knuckle Fight League, dared Harbhajan to face him in the ring. The two cricketers were part of India's 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup winning teams.
The Indian Opinion
The 'roommate' offer versus the 'boxing ring' challenge could be a publicity script, or a genuine thaw after 18 years of bad blood. Rather than taking sides, watch for the actual next step: will either man call the other's bluff and agree to a face-to-face meeting? That single act will reveal if the olive branch or the punching glove wins.
