Harbhajan Singh suggests Indian team to play the same XI against Sri Lanka
Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has suggested that India should play the same team that crushed Pakistan by 124-runs when they take on Asian rivals Sri Lanka on Thursday. The 36-year old has also lauded the Indian team's performance against Pakistan and held them in high regard.
