Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has expressed regret over his impolite behavior with family following poor performances on the cricket field. While reflecting on his cricketing career, the legend added that sports should never be considered the be-all and end-all of life.Harbhajan is regarded as one of the greatest bowlers to represent India in international cricket. In a decorated career, he played 365 matches across the three formats of the game, claiming 707 wickets at an average of 30.06, with 37 five-fers and eight 10-wicket match hauls. Only Anil Kumble (953) and Ravichandran Ashwin (765) have taken more wickets for India.During his appearance on the 'Kutti Stories with Ash' podcast hosted by Ashwin, Harbhajan admitted that he could not balance his personal and professional life, as a result of which his cricketing frustrations spilled onto his family life as well."Sports should be played like sports and it should not be everything in our life. I used to have fights with my wife when things did not go my way on the field or off it. You bring that mood back home. That anger seeps through in our daily conversations at home. What wrong did they do?," the former India off-spinner said."If I look back, there were so many times when I had a bad tour and I did not talk to my family properly after coming back. I regret those moments. That time is gone and I made a mess of it. When my sister came to see me, I didn't talk to her," the 45-year-old lamented.
