There is an advertisement with every Tom, Dick & harry of the Indian team. But harbhajan does not have a single solo advertisement. He only had a few group ads in which he is hardly visible. Given the fact that harbhajan is a senior member of the Indian team and a star performer, still he has no ads, this clearly reflects the communal/racist mindset of the advertising media.

Dont be mad....That way LAXMAN who has won so many matches for INDIA single handedly also is not found in ads... is it also because of racism...
The messages againt Bhajji reflect the communal and racist mindset of bloggers writing here. No matter how well he performs these racist people will never give a Sardar any credit.
Let s be serious. Bhajji has a sharp eye and an uncanny ability to whack the ball. These traits came together and his batting has hit a purple patch. No doubt a good value-add at no 8 but we must stop right there. Bhajji as an all rounder is stretching it a little too far and reading about him as the next Kapil Dev is down right stupid. I would believe that we must stop looking for the next Kapil - there is only 1 and he s gone into the sunset. Historically, all the "potential-kapils" were grounded to dust - the Pathans, Agarkars and Ravindra Jadeja s of this world being the key ones in the charade. We do need an all rounder and at the sniff of few performances, the great Indian tendancy to proclaim "discovery" has surfaced. Kapil in his days could walk into any side in the world as an all rounder ; like Imran Khan and Hadlee. Bhajji can probably walk into Jalandhar Jadu-wala CC. Peace !

Kapil is right up there. You cannot become Kapil by excercising or contemplating. Only Kapil is a Kapil born to be ine no moulded into one.

hey dost...Sir Gary Sobers is great, but it doesn't mean you can just guffaw on Harbhajan...he is in the elite list because of his all round performance in New Zealand series. Hope you understand.
Lets hold our hores!! New Zealand is not that strong team. Let him prove his batsmanship against good teams and outside India too and then we can put him on a pinnacle!! We indians are very fast in Chadhaving peole too early!! M R S Mani ,nashik.

Certainly, Bhajji is great. We should appreciate his contributions in our hours of extreme crisis. Kudos to him.
I dont understand why a big deal is made when members of team India show their emotions in public. They are humans after all. All of us have had our frustrating days in our life. So too these players who are playing for India, and giving their all. Its a sign of Passion that makes Sreesanth,bhajji,Yuvi etc have a word or two, or show some aggro. And anyway, they are nowhere near the behaviour shown by the likes of Donald and Mcgrath and Broad. Remember mcgrath sarwan incidednt? EVer seen indians show that kind of behaviour? Bhajji,Sree are the icons of a new aggressive India, which knows its place and cant be pushed around by the so called colonial powers.

Donald and Mcgrath were consistent performers who showed aggression on the field (though i dont support the way they did it) but they never opened their mouth off the field. Bhajji is just a hot headed person who considers his uncontrolled outbursts as aggression. You wasnt to show aggression? Show the way Yuvi did to Broad or Madal Lal did to Bob willis. Natural aggression should come with cool headedness.
Indian cricket has always been admired for the behaviour of the players..The team was somewhat an ambassador of the nation's culture and lot of respect was earned.Kapil's devils who won the world cup was never behind in agression.they didnt sho it..they did it..thats the difference..Nowadays,I am confused with the word "aggression".Is what bhajji or Sreesanth doing to be mentioned as aggression?
