Lalit Modi Drops BOMBSHELL IPL Slap Video – Harbhajan & Sreesanth Drama Resurfaces!
Talk about shaking cricket’s foundations! Lalit Modi, the controversial founder of the IPL, now living in the UK, has just released never-before-seen footage of the infamous 2008 “Slapgate” incident, ,where Harbhajan Singh slapped Sreesanth during the very first IPL season.
The clip, aired during an explosive interview with Michael Clarke, shows the exact moment Harbhajan strikes Sreesanth, followed by a fiery exchange as Irfan Pathan rushes in to cool things down. Fans, stunned to finally see the full footage after 17 years, have gone into meltdown online.
But not everyone is amused. Sreesanth’s wife lashed out on Instagram, writing:
“Shame on you, Lalit Modi and Michael Clarke. To dig up something from 2008 just for cheap publicity and views is absolutely disgusting, heartless, and inhuman.”
For context: Harbhajan has openly admitted in past interviews that if he could erase one chapter from his life, it would be that slap. Both he and Sreesanth have long since moved on—they’re fathers now, more focused on family than feuds.
Still, Lalit Modi’s timing and motives are under fire. Was this about “transparency”… or just another stunt to stay relevant in cricket headlines?
Social media is split:
- “This footage should’ve stayed buried. They’ve moved on, why can’t Lalit?”
- “Finally! We deserved to see the truth. Fans were kept in the dark for years!”
So, will this reignite old rivalries? Or will Harbhajan and Sreesanth choose silence over drama? Either way, the cricket world just got a scandal it wasn’t ready for.
