Dhoni impressed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453’s aggressive approach – Cricket News Update
Having made a wonderful comeback to international cricket, Harbhajan Singh, has earned praise from his captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028, who expressed that the off-spinner bowled against England with an aggressive intent.
The cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 was left out of the squad after India’s drubbing off England’s hands last year. However, the 32-year-old cricketer, having performed reasonably well in county cricket, was recalled to the national team for the T20 series against
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012.
The wily spinner was given a place in the playing-11 for the encounter against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 on Sunday. Harbhajan did not disappoint, and answered his critics in style, picking up four wickets after giving away merely 12 runs in his four overs, to be named as
the Player of the Match.
Dhoni is delighted with the off-spinner’s performance and was all praise for him during the post-match media interactions.
The wicketkeeper/batsman is impressed by the way Harbhajan used his variations and never allowed the batsmen to settle down.
"I believe I have seen Harbhajan bowl better but under current circumstances, it was a brilliant performance. He was making a comeback and got a chance to prove that he is good and under these conditions, one tends to get desperate," said Dhoni. "He (Harbhajan)
didn't bowl any short deliveries and invited the batsmen to drive. He used the variations like top spinner and doosra effectively."
Harbhajan has so far represented http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in 98 Tests, 228 One Day Internationals and 24 T20s, picking up almost seven hundred victims at the game’s highest stage. He was rated among the world’s finest spin bowlers before going through a loss of form.
Most of the game’s experts believe that Harbhajan is at his best when he looks to pick up wickets and tries to flight the ball; instead of going into the field with a defensive mindset.
Dhoni revealed that the Jalandhar-born cricketer looked completely focussed against England, which was the key behind his success.
"He showed an aggressive mindset and wasn't bothered too much about field placements. He was very focused on his job," the skipper said.
