New Delhi, September 10: Harbhajan Singh today sought to downplay the incident at the Bangalore International Airport, saying he, at no stage, had hit or jabbed a cameraman before leaving for the tri-series in Sri Lanka.
Harbhajan, who very often finds himself in the news for all the wrong reasons, jabbed at a cameraman yesterday after his camera had hit him on the head while he was taking his luggage out from a car before entering the airport.
The feisty off-spinner wrote in his personal blog that he had just pushed the object which hit his head and turban hard without knowing that it was a camera.
“I am facing the car, I have no clue what is behind me.
The camera man is seen running towards me and the intensity and pace with which his camera clearly hits my head and it was not like just a touch, it hit me hard on my head and patka,” Harbhajan wrote in his bigadda blog.
“I am very particular of being touched and hit at my head or my patka. As a prompt reflex, not even knowing what hit my head I pushed the object, realising it after I pushed it that it was a camera. At no stage did I hit or slap the cameraman.
Neither will I ever do it,” he added.
The senior Team India member felt that the cameraman had breached the security cover provided to him at the airport.
