Not only the fans but also the great cricketers of India are not able to tolerate the shameful defeat against New Zealand. After 24 years, the Indian team has been swept in the home Test series. That’s why first Sachin Tendulkar raised questions on the performance of Team India. Now Harbhajan Singh has told who is the real culprit of the defeat. India’s batting failed in the entire series. Especially the two great batsmen of the team, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, from whom the highest expectations were flopped. However, Harbhajan blamed the pitch as the biggest culprit for this defeat.
What did Harbhajan say about the defeat?
Harbhajan Singh reacted on social media after India’s defeat. He described turning pitches as the biggest enemy of the Indian team. He said, ‘I have been saying this for many years. Team India needs to play on better pitches. The previous generation of batsmen did not bat on this type of track. Such pitches are made for only 2 or 3 days of play. These turning pitches are making every batsman look very ordinary. There is no need for bowlers like Muralitharan, Shane Warne or Saqlain Mushtaq. Anyone can get anyone out here.

‘Don’t tamper with the pitch too much’
According to Harbhajan, the responsibility of this defeat lies with the captain and the entire team. But he also believes that such a bad wicket should not be prepared. He targeted the captain and head coach without taking anyone’s name. Actually, recently there was a report that Team India had demanded rank turner pitch in Pune and Mumbai. Regarding this he said that there should not be much tampering with the pitch. He said that ‘Test cricket means that the match should last for 5 days and the team that plays best during this period should win. ,
