After Virender Sehwag, the opener,it is the turn of our "pay back in the same coin" off spinner, Harbhajan. After the spectacular win by India in first ODI against Sri Lanka, it seems Harbhajan is right when he says that last year it was the year of Mendis, the talented spinner who wiped off Indian Team, but this is the year of Team India.

According to him, the mystery has been solved and the result is there for everyone to see. Mendis is 'a flop' in the Emerald Isles.
Dhoni with his team, especially Raina and Gautam Gambhir, managed to contain Srilanka at 246. Though Jayasuriya managed a ton, it was not sufficient to prevent defeat.
The Indian off-Spinner is a bit doubtful about the 2nd One-Day though in Colombo as the past experience shows that Sri Lanka has a winning record there coming back from the verge of defeat.
Harbhajan was attending a cricket tournament organised in the memory of his Late father Sardev Singh. He also had definite views on the inclusion of England cricketers in the second edition of Indian Cricket League. He was glad that inclusion of Flintoff and others will make the tournament more exciting.
Well for a change the fiery off spinner was diplomatic about the inclusion of cricketers from Pakistan, saying it was a the sole prerogative of the Government.
The three times appeal with the third umpire in the referral system was a favoured idea and Bhajji was in favour that any controversial decision can be sorted out with the help of Third Umpire.
Harbhajjan is surely missing playing against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka. He is suffering from a hamstring injury, which is making him miss these exciting matches.
We wish a speedy recovery for Harbhajjan!
