DTVHINDI‘We hurt the confidence of our batsmen’: Harbhajan Singh on Test cricket ending in a 2-3 draw
Let’s know what Harbhajan Singh said Harbhajan Singh (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has recently been seen criticizing the Indian management. In this criticism, Harbhajan has blamed the management for preparing spin-friendly pitches when Test matches end in 2-3 days. On the other hand, pitches are always a topic of discussion when it comes to Test matches, especially in India, when big teams like Australia and England come to India to play. The Indian management always focuses on making such pitches that help the host team. So sometimes, not only foreign teams face difficulty in batting on spin friendly pitches, but Indian batsmen also seem to be quite troubled. Big batsmen like Virat Kohli have also been affected by this in the recent past. It is worth noting that among the players who have played more than 8 Test matches in India after the year 2020, only Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja have an average above 40. But now giving a big statement on this, Harbhajan has said that pitches play an important role in the game, but when the pitch starts turning from 3-4 days in a Test match, this is not seen now. And due to this the confidence of the batsmen has decreased. Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview to Sports Tak, Harbhajan Singh said- We have started playing on pitches that take more turn. We wanted to win and we won but do we want to win in two and a half days? I think, if we had prepared normal pitches that would have started turning from the third and fourth day, we would have still won but the batsmen would have got time to settle in. We would not have been discussing the problems our batsmen have against spinners. We have hurt the confidence of our batsmen, because on those pitches anyone gets out cheaply.

Pakistani journalist had to pay a heavy price for messing with Harbhajan Singh, he said openly- did you understand the meaning or should I explain it…
Let’s know what Harbhajan said Harbhajan Singh (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, former legendary spinner of the Indian cricket team Harbhajan Singh has given a befitting reply to a Pakistani journalist through social media, in which the journalist had tried to make fun of Bhajji on the social media platform X. It is worth noting that this time ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in Pakistan. However, it is not yet clear whether India will go to Pakistan for this tournament or not? Due to security reasons, BCCI has also not made any picture clear. Also, some time ago Harbhajan Singh had said that if the Indian government feels that the Indian team may face a security threat in Pakistan, then it should not go there. Regarding this, Pakistani journalist Farid Khan tagged Harbhajan Singh on X and shared a photo in which Shahid Afridi had hit 4 consecutive sixes to Harbhajan during a test match. This is probably the reason for your fear. While replying to Farid, Harbhajan shared the photo of the terrorist attack on Sri Lankan team in 2008 and wrote – No, not for this, there are wins and losses in cricket. I will tell you the real problem. Check the photo given below. You must have understood the meaning of F.. or should I explain it. F means your name, don’t think what came to your mind. You know what I mean. See this post of Harbhajan Singh No not for this. Cricket is still my favorite. I will tell u the real problem is this. Check the photo⬇️. Now get the F…. out of here. Will you understand the meaning of F? F means your name. Plz don’t think what ur thinking th meaning of F. You know what I mean… pic.twitter.com/bqrGlro7tC — Harbhajan Turbanator (@harbhajan_singh) August 1, 2024 Will the Indian team go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy? It is worth noting that this time Pakistan has the hosting rights of Champions Trophy 2025. However, there is no ray of hope yet for the Indian cricket team to go to Pakistan and participate in this tournament. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) says that they can send the Indian team to Pakistan only after getting the green signal from the Indian government. At the same time, there is also a possibility that if India does not go to Pakistan, then like the Asia Cup, India can play its matches in either UAE or Sri Lanka under the hybrid model.
