Leading a world-class Mumbai side is an honour, says Harbhajan Singh – Cricket News Update
Mumbai Indians’ skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 feels that his team has some world-class players from all across the globe and to lead such a talented bunch of cricketers is an honour for him.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 has led Mumbai in the previous four seasons of the league. However, the batting-maestro wanted to concentrate on his batting this year and as a result, Harbhajan was allowed to captain the high-profile franchise.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 won the last Champions League T20 and is rated amongst the top-teams of the current IPL season. However, the Indians have had a mixed campaign so far because of some injury issues as well as loss of form of some players.
Harbhajan’s men are presently at number three on the points table with 18 points after 15 matches and need to win their last league match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals to ensure a place in the play-offs.
Mumbai has the services of a number of extra-ordinary cricketers like Tendulkar, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SL-Malinga-c2540. Having to lead such high-profile cricketers can be stressful, but Harbhajan emphasised that remaining calm helps his
decision making.
‘Bhajji’ is usually a very emotional character and has the tendency to lose temperament. However, the off-spinner claims that he absorbed pressure nicely this season.
Harbhajan expressed, “To lead a team studded with great cricketers from across the cricketing world is an honour. It can get stressful when you are chasing runs, but I keep my cool by taking a break and zoning out to view the situation
from every angle. A calm mindset helps me in decision-making.”
He further added that IPL is a great learning curve for every cricketer as it brings different challenges as compared to the International level.
“The IPL is an excellent learning platform for all cricketers as it enables us to get out of our comfort zones and adapt to each other's styles. It's certainly fruitful for young cricketers. I feel there are a few boys with the potential to play for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750,”
he added.
