Harbhajan was part of the group of players who featured in the first three seasons of the league during Modi's tenure, and even featured in the 2010 final against the Chennai Super Kings. Shortly after the final, Modi was suspended from BCCI after being accused of misconduct, indiscipline and financial irregularities. BCCI launched an investigation against him, and banned him for life in 2013 after a committee found him guilty of these charges. Later, before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched an investigation against him for alleged financial irregularities, Modi moved to London and has been spending his days overseas since.
