http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 backs under-fire Tendulkar – Cricket News Update
Veteran Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, who is all set to make a comeback to the national fold after a gap of more than a year, on Friday backed batting legend http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 to come out of his poor run of form soon.
Tendulkar, 39, has been under fire since being bowled thrice in four innings in the recently concluded home Test series against New Zealand. The Master Blaster could manage to score 19, 17 and 27 runs, as he struggled against the full-length deliveries.
Tendulkar’s vulnerability against the full-length deliveries prompted his critics to announce that age is catching up with the batting prodigy.
However, Harbhajan said that despite being off-colour during http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s 2-0 series whitewash over New Zealand, Sachin remains a “true phenomenon”.
"I don't want to comment on what others have said. But http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 is somebody we all have looked up to while playing. He is the best cricketer I have played with," said Harbhajan while speaking to media reporters on Friday.
"He scores 100s but never gets tired. His hunger for runs is amazing. He is truly a phenomenon, a legend and the God of cricket. Yet he keeps himself so simple. You learn a lot from him," he added further.
Bhajji, a veteran of 98 Tests and 229 ODIs, is also delighted to see veteran all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364 back in action after battling lung cancer.
While speaking to media persons ahead of the T20 series opener against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 all-rounder is an inspiration for the players of his age as well as for the youngsters.
"There can't be a bigger inspiration in cricket than Yuvi. It is a privilege to be back in the dressing room with him," said Harbhajan, who will also be playing his first international match in a year, if picked in the final eleven on Saturday.
Yuvraj was diagnosed with a rare germ-cell tumour between the lungs earlier this year, for which he received Chemotherapy treatment in the United States. After a successful treatment, the left-hander returned home in April, and has been raring to go since then.
