Why Harbhajan was Right about Ashwin

Harbhajan Singh, the name we all know and we also know he's pretty bad at predicting results, i would never put money on his pick, that's for sure.

He Predicted the Aussies could lose 3-0 too, while some predicted 4-0 victory for India, anyhow as Steve Smith mentioned that cant happen anymore.


This was Harbhajan's Take on Ashwin's fake purple patch

Only 2 in my 103 tests.. Kumble and my test wicket count would have been something else if we got wickets like last 4 years we playing on👊 https://t.co/fvkdVw1I1v

This is where Bhajji got it right, Ashwin is so pitch dependent,we can say that from the way he bowled in South Africa, Australia and in English conditions, again when the conditions were favoring him in Srilanka, he absolutely threatened each and every Srilankan player and made pitch a mine field.

Although it's too soon to judge him from one bad game, but clearly as even Shane Warne mentioned, Ashwin didn't look threatening on a pitch that favored spinners, Jadeja looked extremely threatening, it looked as if every over he would get a wicket.

So probably the pitches would be flat from next game on and atleast we wouldn't get rank turners, This is the pitch:

The second Test match between India and Australia will begin on March 4 in Bengaluru

Steve Smith Stamps His Authority With a Brilliant Second Innings Hundred

Steve Smith Stamps His Authority How Good was his century  in second innings of the first Test Match Between India and Australia in Pune. Most Importantly the century came in second innings, that's the reason he's so different from the other players like Kane Williamson, Joe Root, Virat Kohli.

Now I Know all people keep saying that India is going to bounce back, but Steve Smith is in a different league now, he has evolved as a captain too, he's infact a complete player, he achieved what no captain since last few series in India could.

But still it's too quick to judge his success just from one match, but if any team can beat India in India it's this Australian Team

The Kiwis were whitewashed , The Proteas were whitewashed, the English were clean swept, but this man (Steve Smith) might actually change that and turn the tables against the hosts I Feel.

Talking about captaincy and batting, you also got to look at the way Steve O'Keefe bowled, he out bowled Ashwin by Gigantic Proportions, and i think Ravi Jadeja bowled well from Indians.

It's fair to say Indians got the taste of their own medicine now for preparing the rank turners, this is very similar to what happened when English Toured India in 2012-2013 and won a historic test series with the help of quality spinners like Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar , if Australia win this series, its very fair to say "This Would be a Career High for Steve Smith".

Many Captains only dreamed to win a test match in India and Steve Smith did it with such flair along with his spin twins Nathan Lyon and Steve O'Keefe.

Steve also mentioned in his tweet and post match press conference that the Australians recorded their last win in India 4502 days back.

What a win!!! Good luck Aussies!!! Cheering for You!!!
