After India’s consecutive defeats in the Asia Cup, many former players have come forward to criticize the team selection and the performance of the players. Former off-spinner Harbhajan Singh says that left-handed batsman Shikhar Dhawan should be brought back to the Twenty20 team.
Harbhajan is supporting Dhawan considering his performance in the IPL. This statement came after India lost by six wickets against Sri Lanka. Even though the Punjab Kings did not qualify for the IPL playoffs, the veteran player has been a consistent performer. Dhawan scored 460 runs in 14 matches. It has three fifties. The best score is 88 runs
Earlier, Dhawan also played well for Delhi Capitals. Bring back Ishan Kishan and Shikhar Dhawan. Shikhar is a run chaser and a consistent player, and the current Indian team needs that consistency. Scores decent runs in every IPL season. So, my opinion is to bring back players who have experience and know how to score runs’ – Harbhajan told the media.
Rohit, Virat, K.L. Rahul etc are all good players. But it remains to be seen who is better in each format. What did Dinesh do wrong to get Karthik out? He made it to the team at the age of 37 after a brilliant performance. Harbhajan added that he played well in the West Indies and other overseas pitches and batted well.
