Well-known in cricket arena “Bhajji” alias Harbhajan Singh could find himself in trouble again. The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that the bowler reportedly made monkey gestures towards the crowd in Sydney, which could get him into trouble with the ICC.

The paper says Harbhajan Singh apparently motioned as if to scratch his armpits with both hands in the same manner fans did to taunt Andrew Symonds in India last year. The paper says Harbhajan Singh repeated the gesture with one hand later and was photographed. Moreover, a spectator said Harbhajan also spat towards the Sydney Cricket Ground crowd after they called him "a wanker".

"There are a lot of young people sitting here and it was inappropriate. He is a role model to a lot of people. If he wants respect he has to treat others with respect. He is always going to cop it from the crowd but he is a professional sportsman and he has got to expect that," told the newspaper.

The incident occurred about 10 minutes after Harbhajan dismissed opener Matthew Hayden, who called him an "obnoxious little weed" on radio recently.
