Indian cricket genius and cricket analyst, Harbhajan Singh recently in an interview gave his opinion on the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where India is supposed to feature in 5 test matches against Australia.
The men in blue recently suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat against the Blackcaps at home, as this setback has given a huge blow to India’s campaign. Despite known conditions, India was outplayed by the spin options, as Kiwis dominated them audaciously.
Harbhajan Singh picked and considered Australia as slight favourites for the upcoming five-match Test series, saying India’s confidence has taken a hit after their surprising 0-3 loss to New Zealand at home.
“It will be a 50-50 series. But I will give a slight edge to Australia because they are playing at home and India’s confidence would be a bit shaken.”
