Team India needs to figure out which spinners will get them wickets, says Harbhajan
"Whenever your spinners or other middle-overs bowlers won't take wickets in the 15-40 overs, the match will slip out of your hands. I believe Team India needs to figure out which spinners will get them wickets. Even if they give 60 runs in eight overs or 70 in nine overs, doesn't matter, but they should get three wickets. You won't be successful without taking wickets in the middle-overs," said Harbhajan in a video on his YouTube channel.
