IPL 2023: “We Are Very Good Friends” – Harbhajan Singh Denies Claims of Rift with MS Dhoni

IPL 2023 is all set to begin on 31st March and all 10 teams will take on each other in the league stage. However, it is assumed that IPL 2023 could be the last season of legendary captain MS Dhoni and fans would be hoping that he bids adieu to the cash-rich league in a grand fashion by winning the title as well. Last time in 2022, they had a rather forgettable season where they finished in 9th position as well.

While the new entrant Gujarat Titans (GT) won the title last year, the year wasn’t good for the five-time champions Mumbai Indians as well. And, a lot many things fans can witness this season as well. And, recently, veteran India spinner Harbhajan Singh was having an interaction with the YouTube channel named ‘Sports Yaari’ and he was asked about is there any rift between him & MS Dhoni.

“Why would I have a problem with MS Dhoni? We played a lot of cricket for India and have been very, very good friends, and still 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 Singh.

“You cannot write off CSK” – Harbhajan Singh on MS Dhoni led team

“As far as I know, he hasn’t taken away any of my properties (laughs). But yes, I am interested in some of his properties, especially his farmhouse.” he further added.

However, Harbhajan Singh was asked whether CSK can bounce back this season after a dreadful IPL 2022 season & also about Ben Stokes’ presence in IPL 2023 as well.

“You cannot write off CSK. If you start thinking that the team isn’t going to do anything, they are going to prove you wrong. It’s lovely to see Ben Stokes with the CSK side. He will bring a lot to the table.” again said Harbhajan Singh.

“Ben Stokes can win you tournaments, as simple as that. That one guy is enough, he will stay till the end. Champions know how to win matches. CSK have MS Dhoni as the biggest champion, and now Stokes has come in, who is the biggest champion in world cricket today.” Harbhajan Singh concluded.
