“That day, I saw Sachin Tendulkar dancing for the first time. The first time he didn’t care about the people around him, and he was enjoying it with everyone, I will always remember that,” the off-spinner said on Star Sports’ Cricket Connect’ show.
“When I woke up that night, I remember sleeping with my medal. I had a medal on it, and it felt great,” Harbhajan said.
This is something we have been dreaming of – Harbhajan Singh
After winning the trophy, all the players got excited, and Harbhajan said that this was something the whole team had been dreaming of and this is the first time any cricketer has taken up a special moment and emotions for and the first time Harbhajan Singh shouted in front of everyone.
“It’s something we’ve dreamed about, it’s just coming up, and it’s just incredible. I still get those goosebumps when I think about those moments. The World Cup was an extraordinary thing, and I screamed in front of everyone. The feeling was overwhelming; I didn’t know how to react,” Harbhajan added.
