NEW DELHI: Indian spin legend Harbhajan Singh has shared how his once-bitter feud with Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds evolved into a deep friendship, highlighting how one of cricket's most infamous scandals ended on a positive note.
The 2007-08 Test series between India and Australia was marred by the "Monkeygate" controversy, where Symonds accused Harbhajan of racially abusing him during the Sydney Test. The allegation led to Harbhajan being handed a three-match ban, later reduced after appeals. The saga nearly derailed India's tour of Australia, with tensions flaring on and off the field.
