Besides abusing, Shoaib Akhtar also thrashed me and Yuvi in a hotel room: Harbhajan

TURBANATOR HARBHAJAN SINGH who celebrated his 35th birthday yesterday has always been a very expressive and vocal cricketer. The off-spinner has never shied away from any on-field altercation and has believed in giving it back. 
However, Harbhajan has come out saying that former Pakistani pacer Shoaib Akhtar once thrashed him and teammate Yuvraj Singh in a hotel room. 

Making his appearance in a show “Aap Ki Adalat”, Harbhajan openly revealed, 

"Shoaib abused me a lot. He used to sit with us, ate with us. Since he was too close to us, maybe he used to take us for granted. He challenged me once to hit a six and when I hit a six, he was shocked. He then bowled two consecutive bouncers which I evaded. He then abused me and I replied back. But after the game, we sat together as if nothing happened.” 

Bhajji further added, 

"Shoaib once threatened me he would come to my room and beat me. I told him come, let's see who beats whom. I was really scared. He is a great hulk. He once bashed me and Yuvi (Yuvraj Singh) inside a room. Since he was heavy, it was difficult to catch him.”
