 Harbhajan's team had lost their third consecutive match when he apparently reacted violently to Sreesanth's approaching him and saying "hard luck".The IPL banned Harbhajan from the remainder of the tournament and prohibited him from collecting his salary after finding him guilty.The BCCI launched a separate investigation into the incident and decided to ban Harbhajan for five ODIs, deeming him to have broken the code of conduct in his national contract.
