NEW DELHI, March 11: The Australians may tend to believe otherwise but volatile Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh insists he is not arrogant but just a fighter.

The spinner said he was not arrogant but asserted he would not take it lying down if his integrity was questioned.

”I’m not arrogant but I do stand up for my rights (especially) when somebody questions my integrity,” the star player said.

Though he did not disclose the details, he made it clear that there was enough war of words between the players during India’s tour of Australia. “The stuff they say I can’t even mention on TV you know, the kind of stuff I have heard on ground. I think the best way was to show it on the field...” he said. —Agencies
