'Time To Reveal It': Lalit Modi Shares Never-seen-before Footage Of Infamous IPL Slapgate Incident

By IANS News August 29, 2025 • 16:14 PM View: 1502

The Indian Premier League: After 17 years, an unseen video clip of the infamous IPL slapgate incident between Harbhajan Singh and S Sreesanth went viral on social media after former IPL chairman and commissioner Lalit Modi shared it in public domain on Friday.

The Indian Premier League witnessed its first major on-field controversy when allegations surfaced that Harbhajan had slapped Sreesanth following a match in which the Punjab Kings (then known as Kings XI Punjab) defeated the Mumbai Indians in 2008.

At the time of the incident, the broadcast had cut to a commercial break, so viewers missed the actual altercation. When the live feed resumed, shocking visuals of a tearful Sreesanth on the field stunned the cricketing world and sparked widespread outrage.
