'You Cannot Judge A Player In Those Conditions..', Harbhajan Singh Backs Star India Batter
'you cannot judge a player in those conditions..', harbhajan singh backs virat kohli
Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has said that one cannot judge a player in conditions like those in New York while discussing Virat Kohli's poor outing at the 2024 T20 World Cup. The track at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium has till now offered a lot of assistance to the bowlers, the seamers mostly, with Canada's 137/7 being the highest score in eight matches at the venue.
India will face Canada in their final group A match in Lauderhill, Florida, on Saturday, June 15. Kohli came into the T20 World Cup after setting IPL 2024 ablaze, scoring upwards of 700 runs at a strike-rate of over 150 for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Although India have already qualified for the Super 8s, they will want their batters to spend some time in the middle if the game isn't abandoned because of inclement weather or unplayable conditions.

"I will get a lot of shortcomings if I try to find them on that pitch, but I do not want to judge anyone on that pitch because batting was difficult on that pitch. There was a lot of help for the bowlers. However, the one thing I would want to see is consistency," Harbhajan said while speaking on Star Sports."Virat Kohli didn't score runs there because the conditions were like that. You cannot judge a player in those conditions. He has come here from there, his confidence will be high here. As Navjot Sidhu also said, all batters would have offered Prasada as they got rid of that pitch," Harbhajan added.
Kohli scored just one and four against Ireland and Pakistan, before being dismissed for a golden duck against the US.

"Runs are obviously expected from Virat Kohli here. Along with that, we need to consistently see partnerships which we weren't getting in the first six overs. Then your middle order is set. Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube have scored runs," Harbhajan said.
