"Paid Dogs Bark": Harbhajan Singh's Cryptic Post Sets Social Media Ablaze

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh posted a cryptic message on social media on Thursday. He took the help of a Hindi idiom to share his thoughts in a veiled manner.

Meanwhile, the fans in the comment section tried to find out the reason behind the former India off-spinner putting that message. See the post here -

"Samosa Mein Bik Gaye": When India Star Took Dig At BCCI's Effort To Suppress Rift News Between Gautam Gambhir And...

The Indian cricket team dressing room is a place where big egos along with big names exist. During the recent India vs Australia series, there were several rumours of a dressing room rift, with an Indian Express report claiming a certain 'Mr. Fix-It' projecting himself as a suitable candidate for being the interim captain. However, after that report, India coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma put up an united front and said that it's not their job to react to outside noise.

"He Will Be The Next Man": Sunil Gavaskar Picks 'Golden Goose' As India Captain After Rohit Sharma

Who will be the next India captain? After the Border Gavaskar Trophy, which India lost 1-3, that is the biggest question in Indian cricket corridors. India captain Rohit Sharma, after dropping himself from the last Test of the series, bravely declared that he just stood down and isn't going anywhere. But then, India won't play another Test until June (in England). By then, the next World Test Championship cycle would have started. Whether the BCCI selectors will retain Rohit as the captain is the question.

"Bitter Pill And We Have To Accept It": Ex-India Star On Test Series Loss To Australia

Australia reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Sydney after ten years meant India couldn't achieve its ambition of making a three-peat of Test series wins on Australian soil. It was a tour where India's batting didn't click in unison, as seen from them being unable to go past the 200-run mark six out of nine times. Barring a few bright sparks from the willows of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Nitish Kumar Reddy and KL Rahul to some extent, India's batting lacked the consistency, big scores and partnerships. Captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli (barring the hundred in Perth), and Shubman Gill had a tough time, while Rishabh Pant also struggled during the tour.

Sunil Joshi Wants India's Test Batters To Play More Domestic Matches

Sunil Joshi, the former India spinner who was chief selector during the 2-1 Test series win in Australia in 2020/21, believes the current Test team batters should play more domestic cricket matches, claiming that it would aid them in getting their run-making groove. India recently suffered a 3-1 Test series loss in Australia, where captain Rohit Sharma made just 31 runs in five innings, while Kohli, despite hitting an unbeaten century in India's 295-run win in Perth, made only 190 runs across all five matches.

Rohit Sharma's 'Selfless' Act During Australia Test Series Faces Brutal Criticism: "Why Should A Youngster..."

Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma had a horrible outing during the recently concluded Test series against Australia where he scored just 31 runs in 3 matches. After missing the first match, he failed to score big in the second match and even dropping himself to No. 6 did not help his case. The situation was so bad that he opted out of the final Test match in Sydney - an act that was hailed as 'selfless' by his teammates and some of the experts. However, according to a report by Indian Express, the gesture was not appreciated by everyone as a former player gave a brutal verdict on Rohit's decision.

Not Just Tests, Rohit Sharma To Retire From Cricket Totally? His Ex-Captain Drops "See Him Out..." Hint

Rohit Sharma's future in Test cricket, not only as captain but also as a player for Team India, is up in the air. Following a disastrous Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 - where Rohit scored 31 runs in five games and did not win a Test - he has been tipped to retire from the longest format of the game altogether. One such person who believes he will retire from Tests is his former skipper in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with Deccan Chargers, Adam Gilchrist. However, Gilchrist even hinted that Rohit might completely retire from international cricket after the ICC Champions Trophy.

India Asked To Pick Kapil Dev, Anil Kumble Against England In Brutal 'Superstar' Rant

Harbhajan Singh criticised the 'superstar culture' prevalent in the Indian cricket team and said that the side needs performers not superstars after the Test series defeat against Australia. Except for Jasprit Bumrah, star players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma had a horrible outing and the former spinner pointed out that selection for the away series against England should completely be dependent on performances. In order to make his point, Harbhajan went on to say that if players are getting picked just on the basis on their reputation, even Anil Kumble and Kapil Dev can find a place in the squad.
