Michael Clarke Exposes Never-Before-Seen ‘Slapgate’ Footage

Lalit Modi shared previously unseen footage from the 2008 IPL slap-gate incident, sparking criticism from Sreesanth's wife who called it heartless and harmful to their family.

  • Lalit Modi and Michael Clarke resurfaced the 2008 IPL slap incident where Harbhajan Singh struck Sreesanth during a post-match handshake, sharing unseen footage on Clarke's podcast.
  • This action reopened a painful episode, causing distress to Sreesanth’s family, as his wife Bhuvneshwari criticized Modi and Clarke for dragging up the incident for cheap publicity and views.
  • Harbhajan has expressed deep regret about the slapgate incident, calling it a mistake and apologizing repeatedly, while both players have moved on and now lead family lives with school-age children.
  • Bhuvneshwari condemned the video release as deeply offensive and cruel, urging Lalit Modi and Michael Clarke to reflect on the pain inflicted on innocent children and families who are forced to revisit past trauma.
  • The resurfaced footage reignited debate but underscored that Sreesanth, despite the controversy, has moved forward in life with resilience and honor, and that revisiting the incident only reopens old wounds without offering any meaningful benefit.
