MUMBAI - Harbhajan Singh dismissed a trio of top batsmen in the Indian Premier League’s opener on Saturday before underlining the importance of a finger spinner to India’s cause at the upcoming Cricket World Cup.
Wrist spinners, once considered a luxury for their penchant to bleed runs in the chase for wickets, have taken the limited-overs formats by storm and banished their finger spin cousins to the fringes. “I have played all my cricket as a finger spinner and never complained about it. I did okay, not bad, quite happy with whatever I have achieved,” said the 38-year-old, who has taken over 700 wickets in the three formats of international cricket.
On Saturday, the former India off-spinner’s 3-20 spell at the start of the innings left RCB reeling and they were eventually bundled out for 70, leaving Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s side to win the opening match of the 2019 IPL by seven wickets.
