Harbhajan Singh hilariously attacks Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir for confusing strategy in BGT

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh is working as a commentator in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Meanwhile, TV presenter Jatin Sapru can also be seen in the commentary box alongside the cricket experts.

While doing the commentary, both Harbhajan and Jatin Sapru took a brutal dig at captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir while talking about India's spin strategy in the ongoing series. Sapru was the one who started the argument with Harbhajan Singh coming up with a savage reply.

Harbhajan Singh's savage remark on playing the fourth Test

During Day 2 of the Gabba Test when Steve Smith and Travis Head were in the middle of a fine partnership, Jatin Sapru spoke about India's confused strategy of playing different spinners in every Test match.

"Washington Sundar in the first Test and (Ravichandran) Ashwin in the second. India has played different spinners in every Test of this series so far," Sapru said.

Harbhajan came up with a savage remark in this conversation and sarcastically said, "Harbhajan Singh in Melbourne."

Harbhajan Singh announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on December 2021. His last international match was way back in 2016 when he played a T20I against UAE. His last Test match was in 2015 against Sri Lanka at Galle. He is one of the few bowlers in the world to pick up 400 Test wickets.

India scrutinized for constant change of spinners

Meanwhile, India's strategy of playing three spinners in the first three Tests of the series has come under a lot of scrutiny. The experts have slammed Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir for their confused strategy and claim that it doesn't allow a spinner to get into a rhythm.

The Men in Blue played Washington Sundar in the first Test while resting both Ashwin and Jadeja. Despite India winning the match and Sundar having fared decently, India played Ashwin in the next Test in Adelaide.

But in the third Test, India dropped Ashwin and brought in Ravindra Jadeja to bolster the batting department after a failed performance by the batters in Adelaide. While there is no doubt that all three of them are quality spinners, not giving them the time to settle in these conditions hasn't helped the cause.

Steve Smith and Travis Head dominate India

Meanwhile, it has been a tough game for India after Rohit Sharma elected to field first on the first day. Jasprit Bumrah brought India into the game with two early wickets on Day 2. Nitish Kumar Reddy soon picked up the big wicket of Marnus Labuschagne.

But Steve Smith and Travis Head stitched together a great partnership to put Australia in command. Both the batters completed their hundreds as Australia surged ahead in the match. Bumrah finally broke the stand with Smith's wicket as the latter was dismissed for a well-made 101.
