Cricket fans were taken by surprise last year when Harbhajan Singh revealed that he hadn’t spoken to MS Dhoni in over ten years, despite their shared history of winning the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup together. While Harbhajan never disclosed the reason behind their apparent disconnect, his remarks left many wondering about the nature of their relationship.
However, a recent video from a function suggests that there may be no bad blood between the two legends. The clip, which has now gone viral on social media, captures a seemingly cordial moment between Dhoni and Harbhajan. As they arrive to take their seats, Dhoni is seen helping Harbhajan with a chair, while the former spinner reacts in a manner that some have described as slightly awkward yet good-natured.
Here is the video:

Harbhajan had earlier spoken about their lack of communication in an interview, stating that aside from discussions on the field, they hadn’t had a proper conversation in over a decade. He recalled that even during his stint with Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, their interactions were mostly limited to cricket-related talks. “We haven’t spoken in more than ten years. I don’t know the reason—maybe he does. When we played together for CSK, we spoke on the ground, but he never visited my room, nor did I visit his,” he had said.
While the viral video doesn’t clarify whether the two have rekindled their friendship, it certainly hints at a sense of mutual respect. Whether this was just a polite exchange or a sign of old teammates reconnecting remains to be seen, but for now, fans are left intrigued by this unexpected moment.
