Srinagar: Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has backed Team India to beat Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024 clash.
“I am sure we will win against Pakistan, we have a great track record against them and have a better team,” Harbhajan was quoted as saying in the press.
“The World Cup team has been selected. The batting is good. I think we are one fast bowler short. One player that I think we will miss is Rinku Singh, because he is someone who can win the match single-handedly for us. He can chase down 60 runs in 20 balls. I think selecting four spinners is a bit too much. Three would have been enough. I wish Team India all the best, hope they bring the cup.”
“I do not think we will ever play four spinners in a game. Ravindra Jadeja will play. Maybe Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal will play with him. Maybe we will field three spinners in a game. We will get to know the combo on seeing the conditions,” the spinner further added.
It is worth mentioning that India and Pakistan are placed in Group A of the World Cup alongside the United States, Ireland and Canada. The arch-rivals will lock horns in one of the most anticipated matches of the tournament in New York on June 9.
