India vs England | Ravi Shastri needs to speak up, suggests Harbhajan Singh
Harbhajan Singh has lashed out at Ravi Shastri after India’s dismal performance in England so far as he wanted the Indian coach to have a go at the players who have not done well so far. Before the tour, the coach was adamant that they would be fearless against the hosts during the ongoing tour.
