“There can be differences between the captain and the management but the talks should be behind doors which is better for everyone. The talks should have been inside the dressing room. Whatever talks are going on, it is not good for the team’s atmosphere. The timing was also not right,” Harbhajan said on Star Sports.

Drawing parallels, Harbhajan Singh praised Kolkata Knight Riders’ owner Shah Rukh Khan for not interfering in cricket matters, saying it helps create a secure and positive team environment. Reflecting on his time with KKR, Harbhajan admired Khan’s approach. The former cricketer added that a good mentor ensures the team is united and on the same page.

“KKR is a great unit, huge fan of Khan sahab. Hats off to that guy, he just doesn’t interfere at all when it comes to cricket. Their dressing room looks very secure. That’s what a good mentor does, wherever he goes, to ensure that everyone is on the same page and plays as one unit. A happy team is a winning team,” Harbhajan concluded.
