Clearing the air about the ongoing rift about the pitches that are being offered to the bowlers in India, Ravichandran Ashwin on Monday was in all praise for Harbhajan Singh and said that he took on to off spin only after seeing The Turbanator bowl in the 2011 series against Australia.
Harbhajan Singh too replied that he has nothing against Ashwin and wants him to keep the flag high. He said that his words were misconstrued for reasons he is not aware of.@harbhajan_singh has been an inspiration nd I started bowling off spin only after seeing the 2001 series.This banter going on is unhealthy

The controversy had erupted when Harbhajan had tweeted that the third Test match between India and New Zealand in Indore will get over inside three days as the pitch was a dry one with cracks over it. Bhajji had faced a lot of flak from fans as they asked him why he was complaining about the pitch when he also got the same during his career.Dear got nothing against you. For some reasons my words are misconstrued. Wish you nothing but the best ✌️ Keep the flag high! God bless ???? https://t.co/flIqJYDT4y
