The 2007-08 Border-Gavaskar series in Australia saw one ofcricket’s biggest ever flashpoints, with Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh accused of racially abusing Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds during the Sydney Test.

Former Indian swing bowler Irfan Pathan, who was part of the Indian squad, during an Instagram Live session with Indian pacer Mohammed Shami talked about ‘monkey gate’ and praised then captain Anil Kumble for handling the whole episode like a good leader.
