“I think these two people (Ishant Sharma and Ashwin) have done very well for the Indian team, whether you talked about cricket or ODIS tests.
With all respect to R Ashwin, I think he is a bowler champion, but in Odi Cricket, me Feeling, it’s time for India to start looking for choices, maybe someone who can take the ball outside, “Harbhajan said to India today.
“Someone like Kuldeep Yadav can be a good choice.
Why don’t we return to the combination of Kulcha and see what they can bring to the table? They won the match for India.
It would be a good thing to return to them.” R Ashwin and Yuzi Chahal Play in the South African series.
They did not make too many opportunities with balls, they were rather defensive with their approach.

There is no doubt about that.
But it doesn’t matter how the goal is, if you play in the World Cup against the opposition, your job is to take a goal at the Central Overs.
This will go down to how you create opportunities as a bowler, “he said.” You need someone like Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal Bowling together.
You can also bring other X-factors, someone like Varun Chakravarthy, there’s nothing wrong with trying it anymore.
You play it in 2-3 matches in the World Cup and you decide, okay, he is not good enough, “he added.

“We lost the spark in the middle Overs where people went to goalkeeper rather than waiting for things to happen.
When Kulcha played together, they were brilliant for the team in the middle-overs.
Every time they play together, they choose Wickets and win matches for India.
“I don’t know why they are messy, why are they not given the opportunity after the World Cup.
Maybe it’s time to return it or maybe some other x-factors can take the goal in the middle rather than just doing.
The work containing,” said Harbhajan.
“If you don’t take Wickets in the middle-overs, I don’t think you will win many games.
It’s important to take a goal with a new ball that we can’t afford enough in the series in South Africa,” he added.
India is now scheduled to play ODIS to the West Indies team visiting from 6-11 February in Ahmedabad.
