IPL 2018: Harbhajan Singh Looks for a Fresh Start at the Auction

Overlooked India spinner Harbhajan Singh, who will be under the hammer for the first time in this years Indian Premier League (IPL) auctions admitted he’s not disappointed that Mumbai Indians did not retain him.

Harbhajan has been synonyms with Mumbai Indians, playing for this franchise since its inception of the IPL in 2008 but this time Harbhajan may be seen in different colors.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen. I might be with MI, or it could be any other team — Punjab, Kolkata… I enjoyed each and every moment playing for MI.

Well, this is a first for me. I was in the auctions when IPL started (2008), and after ten years, I am back at the auctions. It’s a different feeling altogether. I have played all my cricket for Mumbai Indians 10 years. Now I don’t know which team I will be in,” Harbhajan said.

Harbhajan won five trophies with Mumbai Indians including one as a skipper. Harbhajan further stated he would look to win trophies for whichever franchise he plays for.

The 37-year-old Harbhajan further stated Mumbai is like family and there is no misunderstanding with them.

“They called me and spoke to me about their ongoing plans. They are like family and have to accept the decision. “Whatever they are doing, they are doing it for the best of their team and whatever they are looking to do. I am not disappointed. I am always like this. Whoever takes me I will give my 100 percent,” a determined Harbhajan stated.

Harbhajan, who was leading the Punjab side in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy batted at one drop for his team.

“Looking at these conditions here, I found we needed someone to see through the new ball and at the same time, someone who could play shots without losing too many wickets. My role was like a floater who could bat and attack the bowlers. I have been doing okay,” the Turbanator explained the strategy.

However, Punjab failed to make the final for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
