Former Indian cricketer and current IPL 2025 commentator Harbhajan Singh sparked controversy during the Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals match by making a controversial remark about English pacer Jofra Archer. Harbhajan’s on-air comment, comparing Archer’s bowling to the fast meter of London’s black taxis, received backlash on social media with fans calling for his removal from the commentary panel. The insensitive remark, especially coming from someone who has experienced racism in his career, led to demands for an apology and suspension from the IPL commentary team. Despite the criticism, Harbhajan has not addressed the controversy. Archer had a forgettable IPL 2025 debut, recording the most expensive bowling figures in IPL history by conceding 76 runs without taking a wicket. His on-field struggle only added to the discussion, with Harbhajan’s remark becoming the focal point of post-game discourse. Fans continue to express their disappointment over the incident on social media.
