Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has hit out against Team India for their dismal performances in England. The Indian team are currently facing a lot of heat from former players of both England and India as the ‘Turbanator’ has called for coach Ravi Shastri to come out and explain India’s adverse showings.

Just before heading to England, the India coach boasted that “conquering” the pitch is their main target – regardless of where they play. However, Indian batsmen – with the exception of Kohli – are yet to show signs of fathoming the swing produced by English bowlers.

As a result, Bhajji believes that Shastri might have to regret making those comments.

"The coach has to come on record, today or tomorrow he has to speak up. He is answerable to everyone. If India loses the series, then he might have to eat his words and admit that conditions do make a lot of difference," he said.

Harbhajan Singh was left baffled with how the Indian team displayed no sense of grit and determination to fight back while also adding that the constant chipping and chopping of the team is leading to lack of balance within the squad.

"We haven't shown any intent to fight back. The willingness to win is missing and that is most disheartening. We are losing without posing any challenge to the opponent. It is extremely disappointing," said Harbhajan.

"On foreign tours, a good opening partnership makes such a huge difference but in every match, our opening pair is getting changed. In every game, the playing eleven is getting changed. Even the middle order isn't set.”

The decision to play Kuldeep Yadav ahead of Umesh Yadav in overcast conditions was also something that the former India off-spinner found inscrutable.
