Veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, who appeared in the 2021 version of the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), may hang his boots for the last time on cricket. The franchise, owned by Shah Rukh Khan, took the 41-year-old man at auction for a base price of INR 2 million and played only three games for the team led by Eoin Morgan.

Harbhajan, who did not appear in the UAE’s share of the IPL, could be seen as part of the support staff from the 2022 edition onwards.

According to a report by the news agency PTI, Harbhajan is expected to announce his retirement from cricket very soon. After receiving bids from a few franchises, the clerk makes the decision to reset one of them because he is expected to play an important role in the side starting the player auction.

An IPL source told PTI: “The role may be a consultant, mentor, or part of an advisory team, but the franchise he speaks to wants to use his extensive experience. He is also actively involved in helping the franchise company make its auction choices.”

Harbhajan, who worked with men like Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadavi this year in purple-clad men, has repeatedly expressed a desire in his interviews during matches to treat young people and share their experiences with them and eventually work. To improve Indian cricket.

Harbhajan has played 163 matches in the IPL in 13 seasons (he did not participate in 2020) in the Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings and KKR and has taken 150 assists with an average of 26 and his best readings are 5/18.

“Look, Harbhajan wanted to make an official announcement of his retirement at the end of the season. He has had long discussions with one franchise company that has shown great interest, but he would only want to talk about it once the deal is formally negotiated.”
