Harbhajan Singh claims that his side of the ‘Monkeygate’ controversy would be revealed in his upcoming autobiography.

Harbhajan Singh claims: During India’s 2007-08 tour of Australia. Harbhajan Singh was embroiled in a major issue that. Became known as the ‘Monkeygate’ affair.

On Friday, cricketer Harbhajan Singh declared his retirement from all forms of the game. Harbhajan Singh made his international debut in 1998 and last played for India in a. Twenty20 International International in March of 2016. He leaves the game as one of India’s most successful bowlers, with. 417 Test wickets, 269 ODI wickets, and 25 T20I wickets. He was a key member of the. Indian Test side that went on to reach the top of the ICC rankings for the first time in 2007.

Harbhajan has had a long and illustrious career as a cricketer, during which he has accomplished tremendous things and helped India win numerous matches. Among all of his career’s highlights, there is one occasion that the athlete may not remember warmly.

During India’s 2007-08 tour of. Australia. Harbhajan was embroiled in a major issue that became known as the ‘Monkeygate’ affair.

On-field umpires. Steve Bucknor and. Mark Benson were. Informed by. Australian captain Ricky. Ponting that Harbhajan had supposedly called. Australian all-rounder. Andrew Symonds a “monkey.” The incident was. Reported to match referee. Mike Proctor, who found. Harbhajan guilty of racial abuse and awarded him a three-match suspension after a hearing.

Harbhajan Singh claims: The entire event erupted into a massive issue. As the Indian team management was. Dissatisfied with the decision, claiming that. Harbhajan had not used a racist slur and that the Australians misinterpreted a Hindi phrase spoken by the spinner.

The racism allegation against. Harbhajan was subsequently. Withdrawn because. Justice John Hansen determined that there was insufficient evidence to convict. Harbhajan of racial abuse. Instead, he was charged with a level. 2.8 offense. Which was defined as “abuse and insult that does not amount to racism.” Harbhajan was fined. 50% of his match money after pleading guilty to the offence.

Harbhajan claimed that fans would get to know his side of the tale in his upcoming autobiography, which he spoke about in an interview with news agency PTI after announcing his retirement.

“Throughout the episode, no one seemed to care about my side of the story. No one cared about what I went through in those few weeks or how mentally I was deteriorating. My side of the tale has never. Been told in detail. But it will be in my upcoming autobiography. Nobody should have had to go through what I went through “PTI quoted Harbhajan as saying.

India recovered from the tragedy to win the Perth Test. India, on the other hand, went on to win the triangular ODI series that followed, with Harbhajan as a key member of the squad.
