Sreesanth has once again brought back the IPL 2008 Slapgate controversy involving Harbhajan Singh, saying the incident still remains painful and unresolved for him. Speaking in a recent interview, he revealed that he has blocked Harbhajan on social media and no longer maintains any contact, claiming their earlier public friendship was not genuine.

He added the now viral line that he can forgive but not forget, stressing that ignoring such moments only allows them to repeat. His comments have once again reopened debate around one of Indian cricket’s most controversial moments.
