India’s loss to South Africa in the second ODI has raised concerns about the bowling unit. Many fans are questioning the team’s choices, especially with key pacers missing from the lineup.
Harbhajan Questions Shami’s Absences
Legendary spinner Harbhajan Singh expressed frustration over Mohammed Shami not being part of the squad. He said India must learn to win even when Jasprit Bumrah is not playing, as the attack looks completely different without him.
Harbhajan’s Statement on YouTube
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan said he does not understand why Shami is not playing. He praised Prasidh but said the youngster has a lot to learn. He pointed out that proven bowlers have been pushed aside and that India struggle without Bumrah.
Call to Strengthen Spin Options
Harbhajan said India need bowlers who can win matches in shorter formats. He praised Siraj for his work in England without Bumrah. He suggested trying more spinners in ODIs and said Varun Chakravarthy deserves a chance along with Kuldeep.
India’s Bowling Concerns Continue
Harbhajan’s remarks highlight gaps in the current attack. India have young talent but fail to deliver when senior bowlers are unavailable. The lack of wicket takers under pressure remains a major issue.
Series Heads to Decider
With the series moving to a deciding match, India must rethink their approach. Harbhajan believes Shami should return and more spinners should be added to build a balanced attack. India need a setup that can win even without their top names.
