New Delhi. Team India has been announced for the Asia Cup. The selectors made many shocking decisions. Legendary players like Shikhar Dhawan, Yuzvendra Chahal have not been included in the squad for this tournament. At the same time, veteran wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has been given a place in the squad as a backup player. Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh is also furious over the non-inclusion of Yuzvendra Chahal. He has said that there is no better spinner in India than him.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan Singh said, “I see one deficiency in the team and that is Yuzvendra Chahal. A leg spinner who can spin the ball. I think there is no better spinner in India than Yuzvendra Chahal in the white ball format. Yes, he hasn’t done well in the last few matches but that doesn’t make us call him a bad bowler.”
Harbhajan further said, “I think he should be in the team. Hopefully the doors haven’t closed for them yet. He needs to be included in the World Cup squad. Because all the matches are to be held in India. His form was not good. That’s why you didn’t give him a place in the team. But if he was in the team he would be full of confidence. Whenever a player comes into the team after being out, there is a lot of pressure on him.
Don’t think about that… Who did Bumrah say that for? Kohli did a feat in Ireland
