Harbhajan Singh wants Challenging Wickets for Tests in India

Discarded India spinner Harbhajan Singh wants challenging pitches in India instead of rank turners as it will help the team to prepare for overseas conditions.

Emphasizing on making challenging wickets, Harbhajan said winning is important, but you also need to build a team which can win in any conditions.

“Three day Tests will not solve the purpose. You will get a lot of results and wins, but it’s also important to make the team work harder to see the bigger picture in prospect,” Harbhajan said.

“That will only happen on wickets in India where the match will go until the fifth day. That means everybody will get tested. Fast bowlers will bowl 30 odd overs, your spinners will bowl more overs, batsmen will bat long,” he added further.

Further, Harbhajan refused to compare his era with that of Virat Kohli-led India.

The 37-year-old Harbhajan also stressed that spinners play a vital role in overseas conditions.

“More you will play in overseas condition, you will get to know how to bowl over there. Spinners role is very important not just in India, in overseas conditions as well. If you can pick a couple of wickets in middle overs, if you can get that breakthrough you bring in a lot of change,” Harbhajan admitted.

Harbhajan Singh is confident that Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will learn fast and convert their magic like what they have been doing in India.

India might have lost the three-match Test series already, but Harbhajan backed Kohli and his men to come good in future.
