The World Test Championship (WTC) will be played between Australia and South Africa at Lord’s ground from 11 June. Before this match, both teams are sweating fiercely on the field. Australia won the WTC title by defeating India last time. This time the Australian team will field to save their title. While South Africa is still waiting for its first ICC Trophy. Before this important match, former Team India spinner Harbhajan Singh has given a big statement about South Africa. Cricket fans are shocked to hear this.
What did Harbhajan Singh say?
The countdown of the WTC final has started. South Africa, who reached the final of this championship, is desperate to win an ICC trophy for the first time. During this time, former spinner of the Indian team Harbhajan Singh has said a big thing about South Africa. He said during a conversation with Star Sports, “Whenever a big match comes, whether it is the final of the World Test Championship or the World Cup final, South Africa appears to go downwards, as he has not handled the pressure of big matches yet”.
Will have to learn to handle pressure
Bhajji said that the South African team is in good form at this time, maybe even win, but still I will say that they are still not able to handle the pressure. We got to see this during the T20 World Cup. When he wanted 28 off 24 balls to win, but as soon as one of his batsmen was out, the whole team was shattered. The former spinner of Team India said that South Africa still has not been able to learn to handle the pressure. While the Australian team specializes in this, only then they always win in big matches.
The south African side has the talent, but do they have the temperament to handle a icc final? Only time will tell!
