- Champions Trophy 2025: Harbhajan Singh believes that the Indian team can field 4 spinners in its playing eleven against New Zealand. India playing with 4 spinners will be more effective.
Harbhajan Singh On Varun Chakravarthy:
Today the Indian team will play its last group stage match. India will face the challenge of New Zealand. Team India has reached the semi-finals by defeating Bangladesh and Pakistan. Therefore, it is believed that the Indian team can make changes in its playing eleven against New Zealand. Now former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh said that captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir can think about changes. Harbhajan Singh said that the Indian team should field Varun Chakravarthy against New Zealand. Varun Chakravarthy can prove to be a good option against the Kiwi team.
‘It would be more effective if India goes with 4 spinners…’
Harbhajan Singh believes that the Indian team can field 4 spinners in its playing eleven against New Zealand. India playing with 4 spinners will be more effective. In such a situation, you can make Varun Chakraborty a part of the playing eleven. If this happens, Hardik Pandya can start bowling for India along with Mohammed Shami. Also, Hardik Pandya will not have to bowl the entire 10 overs.
‘Hardik Pandya bowled well against Pakistan, but…’
Harbhajan Singh further said that I think Varun Chakraborty should get a chance in the playing eleven against New Zealand. Gautam Gambhir may feel that New Zealand batsmen struggle against spin. At the same time, Hardik Pandya bowled well against Pakistan, but if Varun Chakraborty gets a chance against New Zealand, then Hardik Pandya will have to bowl only 7-8 overs. Apart from this, Hardik Pandya and Mohammed Shami can start the bowling. Also, 4 spinners in the playing eleven will be a good option.
Let us tell you that the teams of India and New Zealand have reached the semi-finals. India has defeated Bangladesh as well as Pakistan. At the same time, the journey of Bangladesh and Pakistan in the Champions Trophy has ended.
