India’s two-Test defeat to South Africa did more than just dent confidence, push them way behind in WTC standings and raise questions over players and head coach. It exposed a hole many hoped would never appear so soon after Ravichandran Ashwin’s retirement. For the first time in over a decade, it looked like India walked into a home series without a proven right-arm off-spinner, and the absence was massive.
As South Africa’s spinners picked up 25 wickets across two matches, India’s tweakers looked short of ideas and impact. One of India’s greatest off-spinners, Harbhajan Singh, believes the problem is huge. He feels that there are no specialist off-spinners in the setup right now. He acknowledges Washington Sundar but he is undercooked as of now.
Harbhajan questions India’s spin depth
Speaking at an event in Mumbai, Harbhajan admitted that India currently lack a specialist off-spinner for Test cricket. When asked whether Washington Sundar could be that long-term replacement, he said the 24-year-old has potential but isn’t ready yet.
“Looks like (India does not have a specialist right-arm off-spinner for Test cricket),” Harbhajan told PTI. “I think Washington Sundar is there, but we will have to bowl him more. He will have to be bowled for 30-35 overs in a Test match to make a bowler out of him,” he added.
