The feisty off-spinner wrote in his personal blog that he had just pushed the object which hit his head and turban hard without knowing it was a camera.

“I am facing the car, I have no clue what is behind me. The camera man is seen running towards me and the intensity and pace with which his camera clearly hits my head and it was not like just a touch, it hit me hard on my head and patka,” Harbhajan wrote.

“I am very particular of being touched and hit at my head or my patka. As a prompt reflex, not even knowing what hit my head I pushed the object, realising it after I pushed it that it was a camera. “At no stage did I hit or slap the cameraman. Neither will I ever do it,” he added.
