India will have to play fearless cricket to win the title: Harbhajan

London. Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh believes that the current team has not shown the fearlessness that is required to win the ICC title and the decision to go with four fast bowlers in the World Test Championship final was not the right one. The Indian team, which could not win a single ICC title in the last ten years, is in bad shape in the WTC final against Australia. Harbhajan, who came here as a commentator, advised the Indian players to play without worrying about the result. There is no dearth of skill, he said. The more big matches you play, the better.

I think there is a need to play freely in such matches. We’re getting more defensive. We have to play freely regardless of the result. “He said,” Put the responsibility on the players and they will surely complete their work. Pressure should be put on them that if they don’t play well, some will be dropped and some will not (their confidence will go down).” Harbhajan said, “They need to be given confidence that even if you can’t play well, you can play your part. try your best That’s how cups are won. Play fearlessly.” Ravichandran Ashwin, the world’s number one Test bowler, was left out as India went with four fast bowlers and one spinner.

Harbhajan said, “If the match is of five days, the bowlers have to be selected after seeing the conditions of five days. Ashwin is an excellent bowler and four fast bowlers were not needed. Fourth and fifth day is also as important as the first day and it is important how you play in those days. Even if someone like Mohammed Siraj or Mohammed Shami was sitting outside, it would have made sense to field four fast bowlers. It would have been better to drop Ashwin and play two spinners instead of four fast bowlers.
