Overview
- S. Sreesanth issued a public boxing challenge to Harbhajan Singh after being shown an old photograph of the two in boxing gloves, a moment reported on Thursday that revived their 2008 feud.
- Harbhajan told PTI he does not want to escalate matters and said sharing time together could resolve remaining issues, even joking that Sreesanth could be his "roommate."
- The exchange recalls the 2008 IPL incident in which Harbhajan slapped Sreesanth and received an 11-match IPL suspension and heavy fines after video and disciplinary review.
- Despite that fallout, both players later returned to the same India dressing room and were part of India’s 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup campaigns, showing the dispute did not end their shared team history.
- No formal boxing bout has been scheduled and coverage so far consists of public statements and media prompts, so the matter currently remains a media-driven spectacle rather than a confirmed contest.
