Harbhajan Singh Trolled Australian Cricket Team Badly During A Live Video With R Ashwin

Indian veteran cricketer, Harbhajan Singh, has been spending his time with his family during the lockdown. Recently, he went live with Ravichandran Ashwin on the ‘ReminicsewithAsh’  session on Instagram.
During the conversation, Harbhajan Singh recalled India’s memorable win over Australia in the historic 3-Test series and lashed out on the Australian cricketers from the 2001 Test for crying over their decision that backfired on them in Kolkata. Talking about the same, Harbhajan Singh said Australian cricketers were ‘bad losers‘ and it must have been hard for them to digest their defeat. He said:
“It was straight in line, it was going to spin as well. I think if I see that now… with DRS, it would have hit the stumps for sure. But that’s McGrath for you. Australians are… they produced a lot of great players but are very bad losers. When it comes to losing a match from that situation… where they were, it must have given them a hard, hard time,”

Calling them ‘bad losers’, Harbhajan Singh expressed how Australians were not happy about most of their decisions. He revealed:
“That’s Australia for you. When they bowl, they feel everything is out. When they are facing it, they feel they are not out. They were not really happy about most of the decision. But this is how the game goes. We may talk about 2008, the Sydney Test, we had a lot of things that went not in our favour. A lot of people talk about that Test as well.”
He added:
“These things happen in the field. We have to accept it as a player. We don’t need to keep on crying about it. We now see some people say on Twitter that Gilchrist was not out. So what if he was not out? How many times have I got him out? If not the 1st ball, I could have got him out in the 2nd ball.”
Furthermore, Harbhajan revealed that there was a lot of drama on day 5, however, the Indian cricket team maintained their calm in the dressing room. He said:
“There was a lot of drama in the (fifth day) morning. John Wright was like ‘when do we declare now?’. Sourav was like ‘let’s get another 30’. After getting 30, he (Wright) would again ask. Someone else would say, ‘let’s get another 20, 25’. That Australian team would go all out to win the game. The kind of batting line-up they had, we thought they might get it. “

He added:
“And then we started hearing the commentators say that it’s a bit too late to get the Australian team out in 2 and half seasons. But we were sure from here onwards, we won’t lose the game. We wanted to go out there and give our best. Till tea, we all thought it’s going to be a draw,”
