Harbhajan Singh's 'Kaali Taxi' comment in controversy, huge backlash on social media!|

Gorgeous Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh, who is in the role of commentator for the IPL 2025 season, got caught in a controversy on Sunday. Harbhajan used a ‘kaali taxi’ reference for England’s fast bowler Jofra Archer during the commentary of the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), which got a lot of reactions on social media.

Harbhajan said, “In London the meter of black taxi runs fast, and here Archer sahab’s meter also runs fast.” This comment, which was describing Archer’s expensive spell (76 runs in 4 overs), angered many fans on social media. Some fans demanded an apology from Harbhajan, as this remark seemed to have an undertone.

Harbhajan, who himself has faced racism in his cricketing career, has not yet issued any clarification or apology on this matter.

Match Recap

Talking about the match, Sunrisers Hyderabad made the second highest total (286 runs) in IPL history against Rajasthan Royals. Ishan Kidhan (106* off 47 balls) and Travis Head (85 off 38 balls) batted brilliantly for SRH. Royals who were chasing a record target could only score 242 runs.

Jofra Archer, who was playing for RR, did not take a single wicket even after giving away 76 runs in his 4 overs. This spell of his became the most expensive spell of IPL, due to which Harbhajan’s ‘kaali taxi’ comment became even more highlighted.
