Harbhajan, Tendulkar are Smith’s favourite Indian cricketers

TIL Desk Sports/ Harbhajan Singh may have been a thorn in the flesh for Australia in the past but current skipper Steve Smith ranks the off-spinner among his favourite Indian cricketers alongside Sachin Tendulkar.

Smith today chose Harbhajan Singh along side Sachin Tendulkar as two of his favourite Indian cricketers, though it is Virat Kohli who has been a standout performer against his team.

Asked to name two of his favourite Indian cricketers during an interaction of Indian Chamber of Commerce, Smith, after a long thought said: “Sachin Tendulkar and Harbhajan Singh.”

Smith further said there is no personal battle with Kohli and credited him for creating a fit group.”This Indian group is quite fit and they take pride in their fitness. You can certainly see the difference in the energy levels and the way they go about their business,” Smith said. Talking about the India-Australia rivalry, Smith said one of his aims is to win a Test series in India.
