IND vs IRE: 'India's Loss To West Indies Has Shocked People...': Harbhajan Singh's Startling Revelation

Veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh expressed his surprise and concern over India’s unexpected loss to the West Indies in the recently concluded five-match T20I series. Harbhajan Singh said that the young Indian team will have learned a lot from the series’ defeat against the Windies.

The Men in Blue started on a poor note, losing the first two games. The Hardik Pandya-led team bounced back to level the series after the fourth T20I match. However, the Indian team suffered a series loss by a 3-2 margin, registering their first T20I series loss in the last 25 months.

I Thought India Will Win Easily – Harbhajan Singh

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan Singh highlighted that the victory against India is a great accomplishment for the West Indies.

“I thought India will win easily against the West Indies, but the results have shocked and troubled several people. Even I was surprised that West Indies, a team that could not qualify for the World Cup, defeated India. It is a great accomplishment for the West Indies, but certainly troubling for Team India,” Singh said.

“Even though it was a second-string team without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, this should not have happened. The young brigade that toured, will have to learn a lot from this and move forward in their journey,” he added.

Veteran batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli didn’t play a single T20I match after the semi-final exit in the T20 World Cup 2022. Tilak Varma and Yashasvi Jaiswal made their T20I debuts and were impressive with their batting performances.

Capable Of Fielding Three Different Teams – Harbhajan Singh

“India is certainly capable of fielding three different teams, but it will take a while for the results to come. I hope that things are better from here onwards,” he further added.
