While Mumbai Indians didn't bid for Harbhajan at the auctions, captain Rohit Sharma said that the veteran off-spinner will be missed.
Harbhajan recalled the 2001 South Africa Test where five Indians - Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Sourav Ganguly, Shiv Sunder Das and Deep Dasgupta, apart from him, were banned for at least a Test by referee Mike Denness for various offences.
Harbhajan will be seen in action on April 7 when representing CSK, he will face old team Mumbai Indians at their home ground -- Wankhede Stadium.
The next two months will be crucial for both Harbhajan and Yuvraj, who surely will have a point to prove as they embark upon a new journey in the IPL.

The former India off-spinner has been synonymous with Mumbai Indians, playing for the defending champions since the inception of the IPL in 2008.
Stressing on making challenging wickets in India, Harbhajan said winning is important but you also need build a team which can win in any conditions.
In the auction pool, Harbhajan is kept among the 16 marquee players and will go under the hammer on January 27 and 28 in Bengaluru.
