During that chat, the off-spinner from Punjab was asked to pick five toughest batsmen to bowl. Harbhajan didn’t have much trouble in naming them and included two batters from Pakistan and one each from Australia, South Africa, and West Indies.
“Younis Khan troubled me a lot,” said Harbhajan Singh and when Rohit reminded of the Pakistan batsman sweeping him repeatedly, he said: “Yes, all the time, he made me feel crying.”
“Inzamam is also someone I found hard to dismiss. There are many but I would choose these five,” Harbhajan Singh said of the former Pakistan captain.
