India v Bangladesh - ICC Twenty20 World Cup
The turbanator was accused of slapping S.Sreesanth during an IPL game

Harbhajan Singh is one of the most controversial players in Indian cricket. The lad from Punjab has had his fair share of fights with cricketers all around the world. However, Bhajji, as he's famously known, crossed the line when he assaulted fellow Indian teammate S Sreesanth. The incident took place during the inaugural edition of the IPL in 2008 when Harbhajan's Mumbai Indians locked horns with Kings XI Punjab. After Mumbai lost the match, it was during the post-match pleasantry exchanges that Harbhajan was fired up after listening to something Sreesanth had to say to him. Bhajji could not control his anger and allegedly manhandled the fast bowler on the field. The incident tainted Harbhajan's image to a large extent and still remains a black mark in his career.
