Harbhajan Singh backs Kuldeep Yadav in Bowling

|| India Correspondent ||

After registering a 10-run win against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are ready to take on Mumbai Indians on April 13 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Prior to that, their veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh backed the out-of-form Kuldeep Yadav, who has faced criticism for his poor show in recent times. 

“When he entered the Indian team, no one taught him how to bowl. Whatever he did was his own merit reflecting in his bowling. The merit is still there and he has only gotten better with time. There are times when you bowl good spells and yet you don’t get wickets. It happened with all the renowned bowlers. I don’t see anything wrong with Kuldeep. He has been a match-winner and I know he is going to come good for KKR and also Team India soon,” he said.

While talking about his experience in the IPL, Harbhajan Singh told KKR.in, “It’s been three-four years since I left Mumbai Indians. I was there with CSK for the last couple of years. But this season I am playing for Ami KKR, and I am going to do whatever I had been doing for MI and CSK, and even better to help KKR get the Cup. I am hoping this is my time to be in the purple form! So yeah, good to be in purple.”

However, he bowled only one over in the first game against Sunrisers Hyderabad but helped others with his inputs throughout the series.

“Whenever I see I need to chip in with my knowledge when it comes to talking to the spinners or even batters on how to play certain shots against spinner, I do talk to them and try to contribute whatever way I can. I want to give it all I have to the team so that they can be better at their own game,” he concluded.
