Rajkot: Coach Greg Chappell and Harbhajan Singh have patched up.
At least that is the impression one got from their joint press meet on Tuesday evening ahead of the sixth One-Day cricket international against Sri Lanka.
Chappell was profuse in his praise of the off-spinner who had not long ago accused the Aussie of sowing seeds of ?insecurity? among the players with his tough regime.
"Harbhajan has been an important part of our success. His bowling in the game where Dhoni made 183 was just as important," Chappell said.
"To bowl 10 overs and concede only 30 odd runs in these small grounds is very good bowling," he added.
The series has marked a remarkable turn around for the 'Turbanator' who has not enjoyed the best of fortunes in the last couple of years.
In 2003-04, he aggravated a finger injury and remained on the sidelines during the larger part of the tour of Australia.
The season that followed was even worse as he was twice reported for suspect action in the space of three months before being advised by the ICC to stick to his 'lab action'.
Then came the outburst early this season against Chappell who himself was on a confrontational path with then skipper Sourav Ganguly.
