India’s 3-0 home loss to New Zealand put them under a lot of pressure before they travelled to Australia. The defeat also made it more difficult for India to go to the final of the World Test Championship. But now that the first Test in Perth has been won over Australia, the confidence has returned. If the Rohit Sharma-led team wins the upcoming match in Adelaide, former cricketer Harbhajan Singh asserted that they will undoubtedly play in the WTC summit match.
The visitors need to defeat Australia 4-0 in the series to secure their place in the WTC final. Additionally, Harbhajan emphasized that the players should concentrate on the current series rather than striving for the final.
“I believe India will advance to the WTC (final) if they win another game,
but it’s not important to get there; it’s important to win so we get there,” Harbhajan was cited by News18 as saying.
Perth has always been a very comfortable hunting ground for Australia, therefore it was (the) most significant victory for India. Although it’s usually very hard to defeat them in their own backyard, here is a place where winning doubles brings joy because Australia believes they are quite strong here. Bravo to the Indian team. He continued, “I hope this keeps up and India wins this series 4-1.”
I have been a big fan of Bumrah since the first day. In the first Test, Harbhajan Singh
Ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah led the squad when Rohit Sharma was not available. With a commanding lead, the 30-year-old helped India defeat Australia by 295 runs. In reference to this, the former off-spinner said that he has been a huge fan of Bumrah since his early days with the Mumbai Indians and that players like him are respected in the locker room.
Bumrah has a fantastic mindset in addition to being a fantastic player. Since the beginning, I have been a big admirer of Bumrah, and I think he has a really peaceful attitude. In the locker room, he is one of those highly pleasant people who knows his game. “The team naturally follows when someone like him leads from the front because he commands a lot of respect in the dressing room,” he remarked.
