MUMBAI, April 27: The Mumbai Indians on Sunday regretted the controversy surrounding their suspended stand-in captain Harbhajan Singh and said they are optimistic that the row would be resolved amicably after Monday’s hearing in the case.

Reacting to Harbhajan’s suspension after he had allegedly slapped Kings XI Punjab’s S. Sreesanth, an unnamed official of the Mumbai team said they were confident that the issue would be sorted out soon. “The incident involving Harbhajan and Sreesanth was most unfortunate. The Mumbai Indians are confident that the decision taken by the panel will be in the best interests of cricket and the IPL.”—Agencies
