‘The results are yet to reflect…..’ – Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh’s bold remark for India ahead of Ireland’s match
Team India is locking horns against Ireland for the three-match T20I series commencing on August 18 in Dublin. Notably, the Men in Blue lost the previous five-match T20I series against the West Indies by 2-3. In addition, Hardik Pandya and Co. made a great comeback despite losing the first two T20Is but couldn’t continue that solid momentum and suffered an 8-wicket defeat in the fifth and final match.
Notably, following the loss, the Men in Blue have been on the radar as a plethora of former cricketers have criticized them for losing against the frail team despite having a great squad. Meanwhile, speaking on the same subject, former India cricketer turned analyst Harbhajan Singh feels India could have won the series easily. In addition, the former India bowler’s remarks came ahead of the first T20I against Ireland.
Yes Kohli and Rohit weren’t there, they won’t stay for long: Harbhajan Singh
Moreover, the right-arm spinner was shocked and concerned after India lost the series against Powell and Co. on August 13. Notably, the legendary cricketer highlights that this win would have been the biggest achievement for the West Indies, but it was a major concern for Team India. Furthermore, the 43-year-old cricketer accepted that India stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma weren’t there but also said they wouldn’t be there for a long period of time.
“I thought India would win that series easily. But the result has left many shocked and concerned. I was taken aback as well because West Indies, a team that did not make the World Cup, beat us. This indeed is a big achievement for West Indies, but a major concern for India. Yes, Kohli and Rohit weren’t there, they won’t stay for long, but this young brigade that had toured West Indies have a learn a lot from this. I previously said that India can make 2-3 teams, and they still can, but the results are yet to reflect,” Harbhajan Singh said on his YouTube channel.
