India lost the fifth Test in Sydney by six wickets, losing the series 1-3 down under. This was India's first Test series loss in Australia since the 2014-15 series. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma both faltered when the team needed them the most, which led to questions about their positions in the Indian Test line-up.
"The selection should be based on the performance, whether Virat or Rohit. No player is bigger than the game, even if they think they are superstars in their minds. If you want to take senior players on tour, you have to make sure they play county cricket before the England series," Harbhajan said.
Virat Kohli scored a total of 190 runs in nine innings at an average of 23.75, despite scoring an unbeaten century in the first Test in Perth. He got out in a similar fashion while poking at deliveries outside the off-stump eight times. Kohli scored 359 runs in his last 15 Test innings at an average of 27.61.
They Are Stuck to Stubbornness - Harbhajan Singh
"How was selection done? Was there any point in playing two spinners in Sydney on this pitch where they didn't even bowl? So, to extend your batting, you added spinners because they can bat. But you didn't see if there was another good seamer, things could have been better. They are stuck to stubbornness. This is not the T20 format. Test cricket is played differently," he added.
The Series Would Have Ended 5-0 - Harbhajan Singh
"If Jasprit Bumrah wasn't in this tour, the series would have ended 5-0. Jassi saved India in Perth. After Adelaide, he saved India in the rest of the matches. If he wasn't in the series, India would have lost by either 5-0 or 4-0," Harbhajan said.
