http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 will make a comeback very soon – Cricket News Update
Former Indian captain, Kapil Dev, has shown confidence over the abilities of the ignored off-spinner, Harbhajan Singh.
The 31-year-old off-spinner, did not perform up to his potential during recently finished http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 tour.
Harbhajan participated in the first 2 matches of 4 Tests against the English side; however, he failed to prove his selection, picking 2 wickets with an expensive average of 143.50.
Meanwhile, the experienced spinner sustained an abdominal injury during the 2nd Test, which led him to be ruled out from the rest of the tour.
After healing from the injury, India’s prime off-spin bowler successfully led his domestic side, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians during the recently concluded Nokia Champions League Twenty20 (NCLT20) to win the title.
Harbhajan, who earned an opportunity to captain Mumbai courtesy to regular skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 Tendulkar’s toe injury, was right on the money during the event, taking 7 wickets.
Despite giving an excellent recital in the NCLT20, the Jullundur-born failed to find a place in the recently played 5-match ODI series against the Poms.
During the absence of Harbhajan, India’s young spinners, Ravindrasinh Jadeja and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228 performed brilliantly, and guided the Men in Blue to win the series by 5-0.
In the meanwhile, the way 25-year-old Ashwin, proved his potential as a quality off-spinner during the ODIs against the Poms, also compelling the national selectors to ignore the veteran of 98 Test matches, and 229 One Day Internationals,
while announcing the squad for the first match of the upcoming Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, giving an opportunity to the youngster.
Meanwhile, the way the emerging spinner, Ashwin performed terrifically against the Caribbean side in the first Test at Feroz Shah Kotla in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780, picking 9 wickets in the match, has impressed everyone.
Considering his performance, it seems difficult for Harbhajan to make a comeback to the national squad.
However, India’s former skipper, Kapil, who won the World Cup for the country in 1983, stated that the Jullundur-born spinner can make a comeback easily, considering Ashwin’s performance as a challenge for him.
"I think it is good for Harbhajan that he is getting tough competition from Ashwin and Ojha. This will only help Bhajji to emerge stronger. Harbhajan is a tough guy and I think he will make a successful comeback in international
cricket. It is just a matter of time," he added in same interview.
