Harbhajan backs Kohli and Rohit for 2027 ODI World Cup
Harbhajan Singh, a former Indian cricketer, recently spoke about two important topics.
First, he strongly supports Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli playing in the 2027 ODI World Cup.
He believes they are still performing well and have a lot of experience that is valuable for the team.
Second, he talked about the condition of cricket pitches in India for Test matches.
He thinks these pitches are too easy for bowlers and not good for batters to practice building long innings.
He suggests that India should make better pitches that last longer and help players improve their skills.
Recently, Kohli scored centuries in the first and second ODIs against South Africa, and Rohit scored a half-century in the Ranchi ODI.
The teams are now preparing for the decider match in Visakhapatnam on December 6.
