# Harbhajan Singh admits scolding broadcasters, later changed his mind 2026-08-07T17:48:30+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Harbhajan Singh, one of India's most successful bowlers, has revealed that during his playing days he often confronted broadcasters who criticised him. 'When I was playing, I had scolded a few broadcasters. I told them, like, what have you achieved in life that you are behind me?' he said on JioHotstar's 'Cheeky Singles'. The off-spinner is India's third-highest wicket-taker across formats and played key roles in the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup wins. After retiring, Harbhajan said he realised those broadcasters were just doing their job. 'All those whom I felt were enemies, it never felt like they actually said anything bad about me,' he added. He last played for India in 2016 and enjoyed a successful IPL career with Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. ## Coverage - sports.ndtv.com - sports.ndtv.com Tags: broadcasters, cricket criticism, Harbhajan Singh, Indian cricket team, sports commentary Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/harbhajan-singh-admits-scolding-broadcasters-later-changed-his-mind/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
