In a recent turn of events, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has openly expressed his disappointment over the exclusion of Yuzvendra Chahal from the Indian squad for the upcoming ODI series against Australia. The decision to omit Chahal, a seasoned leg-spinner, has raised eyebrows and sparked debates among cricket enthusiasts.
Harbhajan, himself a legendary spinner, shared his views on the matter. He praised Chahal’s skills and contributions to the Indian team over the years, emphasizing the importance of experience in the team that was too just ahead of the ODI World Cup. He also questioned the selection criteria, suggesting that Chahal’s track record warranted his inclusion.
“Yuzvendra Chahal should have been here. He has not been given an opportunity. It is beyond my understanding. Either he has fought with someone or he has said something to someone, I don’t know. If we talk only about skill, his name should have been there in this team because a lot of Team India players are resting,” Harbhajan was quoted as saying by Circle of Cricket.
India have the ability to beat Australia: Harbhajan Singh
The former spinner also talked about the upcoming series and said that even having a squad without key players, India can give tough competition to Australia. He believes that the Men in Blue also have the ability to beat them.
“Team India have to continue the winning habit they developed in the Asia Cup. They have the ability to beat Australia as well. The team is slightly weak for the first two matches but I believe this slightly weak team can also come out on top against them,” he said.
“Australia were playing against South Africa and India were playing against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup. Australia are a different team. You will have to be at your best to beat Australia because they have decent batting till No. 7 or No. 8 and they have solid hitters,” he added.
