Harbhajan Singh, the legendary spinner of the Indian cricket team, is in controversy regarding commentary in IPL 2025.
This matter is related to the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals played on Sunday.
In this match, England cricket team's fast bowler Jofra Archer bowled the 18th over for Rajasthan Royals. Then Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen were batting on the pitch.
When Klaasen hit consecutive fours on Archer's second and third balls, Harbhajan Singh commented. He said, "The meter of the black taxi runs fast in London, and here Archer Sahab's meter has also run fast."
Social media users expressed anger over this comment. Users demanded that Harbhajan Singh be removed from the commentary panel of IPL 2025.
A user named Biswajit wrote, "Harbhajan Singh is calling Archer a black taxi." He also posted a clip of this on X.
One user said, "This is vile and disgusting. Please ban him (Harbhajan)."
One user Errica Morris wrote, "Obviously in the UK we get the #IPL2025 world feed so didn’t hear Harbhajan Singh and his awful racist comment about Archer first hand. However plenty did and it’s time that IPL and Star Sports take a stance and take him off air."
Biswajeet wrote, "Racism at the peak."
At the same time, another user wrote, "Harbhajan Singh called Jofra Archer a black taxi in Hindi commentary. This is a very bad thing. Please ban him."
