Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has sparked controversy over a remark made during his commentary in an IPL 2025 match between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. While discussing England pacer Jofra Archer’s performance, Harbhajan compared his bowling speed to the "fast meters of black taxis in London." His comment has been widely criticized on social media, with many users calling it racially insensitive and demanding an apology.

So far, Harbhajan has not addressed the backlash. The controversy overshadowed an electrifying match in which Sunrisers Hyderabad secured a dominant victory. Ishan Kishan stole the spotlight with a blistering century, scoring 106 runs off 47 balls. His explosive innings, featuring 11 fours and 6 sixes, played a crucial role in Hyderabad’s 44-run win. Kishan was named Player of the Match for his outstanding performance.

As reactions continue to pour in, it remains to be seen whether Harbhajan Singh will issue a clarification or response regarding the controversy.
