Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh sparked controversy during the IPL 2025 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals with a racially insensitive comment about English pacer Jofra Archer. During the game, Sunrisers Hyderabad scored an impressive 286 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs—the second-highest total in IPL history. Archer delivered the most expensive spell ever in the league, conceding 76 runs in 4 overs without taking a wicket. While commenting on his performance, Harbhajan compared Archer’s bowling speed to a London black taxi meter, a remark that quickly drew criticism for its racial undertones.
