Cricket legends Navjot Singh Sidhu and Harbhajan Singh are set to appear on the popular comedy show ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show,’ sending fans into a frenzy. The news has sparked a buzz on social media, with netizens eagerly anticipating the episode.
Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh believes that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can continue to play international cricket for at least the next few years. He highlighted their fitness and experience as key factors, emphasizing the need for senior players to guide emerging talents. Harbhajan also acknowledged the hunger of young players while downplaying India’s recent ODI loss to Sri Lanka.
Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh has expressed his interest in taking up the role of head coach for the Indian cricket team. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is currently accepting applications for the post, which will be open until May 27, 2024. The current head coach, Rahul Dravid’s, contract ends after the T20 World Cup in June 2024, and the BCCI has reportedly approached Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming for the role. However, Fleming has expressed reluctance to commit until 2027. Harbhajan Singh, who is currently the head coach of the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL), indicated that he would love to give back to the sport and is open to applying for the position.
Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh has expressed concerns about the scheduling of the 2024 IPL season, which concludes just days before the start of the T20 World Cup. Singh highlighted the need for 4-5 practice games for the Indian team before the tournament, while former teammate Anil Kumble believes the IPL matches provide sufficient preparation for the global event. Kumble also commented on the departure of England players from the IPL ahead of the playoffs, acknowledging that each country has its own approach to preparing for major tournaments.
Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh believes Royal Challengers Bangalore should consider reappointing Virat Kohli as their captain after the 2024 IPL season. He emphasizes the need for an Indian leader to guide the team and highlights Kohli’s impressive performance this season, including his standout batting form and contributions to the leadership group.
Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has criticized the Indian Premier League (IPL) schedule, arguing that it hinders India’s preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup. With England’s players unavailable for the IPL 2024 playoffs due to T20 World Cup commitments, Singh believes the BCCI should prioritize national team training camps ahead of major tournaments. India, who have not won an ICC trophy since 2013, begin their T20 World Cup campaign on June 5 in a tough Group A that includes Pakistan. Singh urged the BCCI to follow the England Cricket Board’s template of providing the national team with 4-5 matches against top teams like England or Australia in preparation for the tournament.
Amidst ongoing discussions about Virat Kohli’s T20 batting approach, former RCB captain and IPL legend Ambati Rayudu has defended Kohli’s strike rate. Rayudu emphasized that strike rate should be considered contextually based on the pitch and match conditions, rather than as a collective measure. Meanwhile, India legend Harbhajan Singh praised Kohli’s adaptability and constant efforts to improve his game. Kohli currently leads the Orange Cap race with 661 runs, demonstrating his strong performance this season.
Congress veteran Shashi Tharoor has backed Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh’s call for Sanju Samson’s inclusion in India’s T20 World Cup squad and his grooming as the next T20 captain. Tharoor has long argued for Samson’s selection, despite his limited opportunities in the national team. The cricketer-turned-politician has also praised Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a century in Rajasthan Royals’ win over Mumbai Indians on Monday.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has criticized the Indian selection committee for repeatedly overlooking Sanju Samson, who has been in excellent form in the IPL. Tharoor believes that Samson deserves a place in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad. Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh has also backed Samson for a spot in the team. Samson is currently the fifth highest scorer in the IPL with 314 runs from 8 matches and has been a key performer for the Rajasthan Royals. His consistent performance has also earned him praise from former Australia cricketer Aaron Finch. Tharoor has been a vocal supporter of Samson and has previously questioned the selectors’ decision to exclude him from the 50-over World Cup squad in 2023.
Former spinner Harbhajan Singh believes Sanju Samson should be selected for India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad and groomed as the future T20I captain after Rohit Sharma. He praised Samson’s consistent performance as Rajasthan Royals’ captain and lauded Yashasvi Jaiswal’s century against Mumbai Indians.
