Following India’s second loss in the ongoing T20 World Cup, spinner Harbhajan Singh has said that New Zealand “hurt the Indian skipper’s ego” to get him out.
“They played with Virat Kohli’s ego. They said that they will not give him the runs, if you come at the start and play the big shot, it’s fine but they will not give the singles. When you hurt a big player’s ego by not giving the singles, they play a shot like Virat Kohli played today,” said Harbhajan Singh while speaking on Star Sports.
“Virat Kohli’s shot is not his natural game. He tried what he doesn’t do. If he had hit the same ball over cover or played after stepping out, I feel that would have been a better option,” he added.
India will play Afghanistan next on November 2 and in order to qualify for the semifinals, the Virat Kohli-led side has to win all of their remaining games and depend on various permutations and combinations.
