The Indian cricket team’s squad for the England tour is out. Shubman Gill leads a young brigade, with Karun Nair making a comeback after years. Rishabh Pant is vice-captain, and Jasprit Bumrah is also in. Harbhajan Singh says this tour will be tough for India, and they might even lose the series.
Harbhajan congratulates Shubman Gill, the first captain from Punjab. He notes Rishabh Pant’s lackluster IPL form but praises his vice-captaincy. Harbhajan likes Sai Sudarshan’s inclusion and Abhimanyu Easwaran’s, Karun Nair’s selection after domestic performances. He wanted Jasprit Bumrah as captain but says Bumrah refused.
This England tour is a challenge for the young team. Harbhajan advises fans not to judge these players based on this tour. He says winning isn’t everything, and sometimes losing can teach valuable lessons. Harbhajan thinks England’s conditions will be tough, but if India plays well, they can win.
