Xtra Time Web Desk: Former India Spinner shares his disappointment of being left out of the Indian Team, without a reason. Harbhajan had played 103 Tests, picked 417 wickets, his last match being against Sri Lanka in Galle, 2015. Had he countinued playing in the team, he could have taken 100 more wickets and still looking for an explanation being getting dropped out.

"I was 31 when I picked up my 400th Test wicket, and if a 31-year-old can pick up 400 wickets, then in the next eight-nine years, I feel I could have taken at least a hundred more. But after that, I didn't get to play matches, neither was I selected. How can someone with 400 wickets be discarded is a mysterious story in itself, which hasn't been unravelled yet. I still wonder, 'What really happened? Who had a problem with me staying in the team?'," Harbhajan said.

On being asked, if he tried to ask former Team India captain, MS Dhoni about the matter he said, "I tried to ask the captain [Dhoni] why, but I wasn't given a reason. I realized there is no point in me asking for the reason for this treatment, and who is behind it because if you keep asking and no one replies, then it’s better to leave it."

Harbhajan continued to play in IPL representing the Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, and most recently in Kolkata Knight Riders, before stepping down from all forms of cricket earlier this month.
