Chandigarh: Harbhajan Singh announces retirement from active cricket Harbhajan said that Sourav Ganguly was a man who supported him in the past.
It’s very simple. Ganguly is the hero who supported me when I was nothing in my career. Dad knew I was talented. But he was not sure if it could be taken out. Yet he supported me. But when I came under Dhoni, I was at some point in my career. I had proven my talent. So you have to understand that difference. Dhoni knew that I had won many matches for India and that I would win a few matches under him too. That was the main difference when they played under them, ”Harbhajan said.
We must always have someone to guide us in life and in the profession. In my life it was Sourav Ganguly. Who would have thought that you would have even taken this interview if Sourav had not beaten me up for me then.
What I see today is shaped by a captain named Sourav. Dhoni is also a great captain. Dhoni led Indian cricket in the path cut by Sourav. Dhoni and I have been involved in a lot of great fights. “It’s always a happy thing,” Harbhajan said.
Harbhajan took 417 wickets in 103 Tests for India, 269 wickets in 236 ODIs and 25 wickets in 28 T20I matches. Under Dhoni, Harbhajan won the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup, and later played for the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL under Dhoni. Despite playing for Kolkata Knight Riders last IPL season, Harbhajan did not get a chance in the playing XI.
