Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team had to face defeat by 25 runs in the Wankhede Test match against New Zealand. Due to this defeat, the Indian team lost the three-match Test series against the Kiwi team 0-3. If seen, after 24 years the Indian team has got a clean sweep in the Test series on home ground. Earlier in the year 2000, the Indian team had to face 0-2 defeat against South Africa.
Bhajji's anger on the pitch
There is an uproar after the shameful defeat of the Indian team. Questions are also being raised on the pitch. Former Team India spinner Harbhajan Singh has now given a big statement on the defeat of the Indian team. Bhajji blamed the pitch for the defeat. It is noteworthy that the first match of this Test series played in Bengaluru could be played only on the fifth day, that too due to rain. Whereas the Pune and Wankhede test match was over in three days.
Turning pitches are becoming your enemy
After the defeat of the Indian team, Harbhajan Singh tweeted, 'Turning pitches are becoming your enemy. Congratulations New Zealand, you beat us. I have been saying for many years that Team India needs to play on better pitches. These turning pitches are making the batsmen very ordinary.
anyone can out anyone
Harbhajan said, 'The first generation batsmen never played on such pitches. These pitches have been designed for 2-3 day test matches. On these pitches you don't need Murali, Warne or Saqlain to get the team out. Anyone can get anyone out.
The entire team is responsible for the defeat
Meanwhile, Harbhajan Singh said, 'This entire series was very disappointing for us. When New Zealand came here, it was expected that the result would be 3-0 in our favour. But they defeated us and took advantage of the circumstances. Not only the captain is responsible but the team is also equally responsible.
Test cricket means 5 days cricket
Harbhajan further said, 'Test cricket means 5 days of cricket, the team which plays well in it wins. I believe that the conditions should not be tampered with too much. If you want to play good cricket then you have to play on a good wicket. I think we could have easily beaten a team like New Zealand 2-0 or 2-1.
This is Harbhajan's international record
Harbhajan Singh retired from international cricket in December 2021. Bhajji then entered politics and was elected to the Rajya Sabha in April 2022 on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ticket. Harbhajan has won many matches for Team India with his bowling.
Played important role in World Cup and T-20 World Cup
Harbhajan Singh was also a member of the 2011 World Cup and 2007 T20 World Cup-winning teams during his illustrious career. He played an important role in the victory by taking 9 wickets in the 2011 World Cup and 7 wickets in the 2007 T20 World Cup. During his illustrious career, Harbhajan took 417 wickets in 103 Tests, 269 wickets in 236 ODIs and 25 wickets in 28 T20 Internationals.
