Jofra Archer had a difficult start in his IPL 2025 season.
The Legend of the Indian Cricket Harbhajan Singh has been found in the midst of a controversy for racism. During the IPL 2025 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), he made an inappropriate comment about the fast bowling player of England Jofra Archer.
The comment was made in 18 of the first tickets while Archer was playing Isehan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen de Srh. Harbhajan made the comment after Klaasen hit Archer for two consecutive limits in the second and third installment of the other.
Harbhajan Singh faces a violent reaction for his comments about Archer
While commenting, Harbhajan Singh tried to make a joke by comparing Jofra Archer with the famous black taxis in London. He said that like the meter of those taxis runs quickly, Archer was also giving races quickly in the game. Harbhajan was talking about how Archer was admitting limits at that time. However, his choice of words did not sit well with many people.
“London me kaali taxi ka ka put Tez Bhaagta Hai, Aur Yaha Pe Arquer Sahab Ka Enter Bhi Tez Bhaaga Hai (as the meter as the meter of the black taxis of London, the Archer meter has been on the upper side) Harbhajan joked in the air.
Shortly after, fans on social networks expressed their anger and demanded that Harbhajan be suspended from the IPL 2025 comments team.
