Hyderabad, March 24, 2025 – Former cricketer and commentator Harbhajan Singh is facing backlash for a racially insensitive remark about Jofra Archer during the IPL match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). While discussing Archer’s bowling spell, Harbhajan compared it to the fast-running meters of London’s black taxis, sparking outrage.
Social media erupted with criticism, with many calling for his removal from the commentary panel. Fans also pointed out the irony, given Harbhajan’s own past experiences with racism in cricket. As of now, he has not issued any public apology.
