Veteran India spinner Harbhajan Singh wants to see the youngsters – Ishan Kishan and Prithvi Shaw in India’s T20 World Cup squad even if that means a senior player has to be dropped. While speaking to ‘Sports Tak’, the veteran has said that Team India needs players like Kishan and Shaw who are known for their attacking style of game.

“They should not be ignored based on their performances. Even if selectors have to replace a senior player, they should go ahead and do it. I also feel Suryakumar Yadav has sealed his place for the T20 World Cup. He not only plays an attacking brand of cricket but is also capable of preserving his wicket and scoring quickly at the same time,” he said.

He again said that both the Ishan Kishan and Prithvi Shaw are very much capable of taking on the challenges and putting pressure on the opponents.

“You can judge a player on his performances. The way Prithvi Shaw and Ishan Kishan have batted in an international game shows how capable they are and it will be difficult to ignore them for the T20 World Cup. If you want to win the World Cup you need players like them. They don’t see who is bowling in the opposition. They just back their natural game,” Harbhajan Sing further added.

However, Ishan Kishan made a brilliant debut as he hit a half-century in the first of the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. He smashed a swashbuckling 59 off just 42 balls and made sure that India chased down the total with ease as well. And, India won the game with 14 overs to spare.
