Harbhajan Singh, the former Indian cricketer known for his remarkable achievements, including over 400 Test wickets and being the first Indian to claim a Test hat-trick, attributes his success to a higher power. In a recent podcast interview with PTI, the 46-year-old emphasized his humility, stating, “Karne karane wala to upar wala hai, uski raza se ho raha hai. Uski marzi ke bina ek patta nahi hil sakta (The doer actually is God, without his will even a leaf cannot move).” He shared that he has never felt a sense of importance due to his cricketing accomplishments, highlighting a modesty that contrasts with his illustrious two-decade career.
Harbhajan Singh revealed that he would not mind a biopic on his cricketing career, and named which actor he would like to see play his character.
Harbhajan would not mind a film on his life and career that has included several headline-grabbing incidents both on and off the field. And for the titular role, his choice would be ‘Uri’ star Vicky Kaushal. And what would be the title of the film?
“When we manage to become something in life, we start assuming that we have done something but whatever happens is god’s will,” he said. He said he has written an Urdu couplet, summing up his take on life, which he will reveal publicly for the first time, using PTI as a platform. “Vicky Kaushal is Punjabi, hails from Hoshiarpur belt and is a terrific actor,” he said. After a few seconds of reflection, he held up his muscular arm and said: ” Jazba (Passion)!”
