We would have to do a lot of hard work. He would have been a great captain. His records speak for themselves as he won the Player of the Tournament in the 2011 World Cup, a title that gives us respect,”

Whenever you captain the country, you need to keep friendships aside and think of the country first,” Harbhajan was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda.
