Well well now what can I say/write about "Bhajji" , whenever I get ready to scribble something negative about him he just astounds me with his gritty performance on the field.There is not even an inkling of doubt in my mind that Harbhajan aka Turbanator is a patriot and is a player with a large heart.Now all of us love players with large hearts because of the fist thumping , the high energy levels which gives an adrenaline rush.
Bhajji loves to play for his country and is backed up by his exceptional talent to turn the ball but alas he is a mere mortal who always fails in front of his inner demons.He has had the reputation of committing "Harakiri" on field by acting in weird fashions.
How on the earth can he explain his behaviour of slapping Sreesanth and abusing Pietersen on field when he was clearly clean bowled.Iam on purpose leaving the "Monkeygate" scandal completely off limits as of now , as I feel it was a case of action-reaction.
Ohh Bhajji how art thou like this ? Why just not focus on cricket and do the talking with the bowl and bat instead of thy tongue....it would not be fair to say that our cricketers should not show acts of aggression on the cricket field but it should be controlled in nature.Dhoni exemplifies the case of controlled aggression and does that with his performance on the field.
Anger and more importantly exhibition of it at short outbursts is a weakness and a characteristic which your opponents would love to exploit to there benefit.
I think Harbhajan as a cricketer has a achieved a lot and would achieve all the more if he just puts his focus on the game and completely bring out EGO out of his game.He should himself learn the way he has mentally conquered Ponting and more often than not Ponting falls for Harbhajan for his past record than his guile in the delivery.
The monkey gate scandal was an altogther a different affair with Bhajji being instigated time and again by the players and public so to some degree his reaction can be justified ...however what Bhajji need to be cognizant about is that he has paid heavily for his conduct in the past in terms of match fees, not playing matches etc and more importantly has had his public image besmirched.
Bhajji should start to mature as soon as possible else he will land up mentally like our very own Benjamin Button.....
