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.

Sanjay Bhardwaj gave a big statement about Gautam Gambhir Let us tell you that recently on the YouTube channel of Manjot Kalra, who was a member of the Under 19 World Cup 2018 winning Indian team, Sanjay Bhardwaj said – Even today he is like an innocent child. There is nothing wrong in him. He is like a 12-year-old child, people think that he is arrogant, but his behavior is like this because of winning. I used to ask him to play matches after the nets and he used to cry after losing the match. Even at that time he did not like to lose. A person with a true personality will obviously be with Gambhir. Bhardwaj further said about Gambhir’s coaching- Gautam Gambhir will not go after the technical aspects, because technical improvement is not needed at that level. You are there because you are technically very good. What Gambhir will work on is the tactical aspect. Gambhir’s job will be to boost the morale and instill confidence in the player who is perhaps not sure of himself. On the other hand, if we talk about Gambhir’s coaching tenure with Team India, out of five matches, the Indian team has won three, one match was tied and the Team India had to face defeat in one match.
