Harbhajan Singh joins Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly in mocking ICC's ODI cricket rules
Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh recently joined his former teammates Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly by mocking ICC's batsmen-friendly rules in ODIs.
Veteran Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh recently joined former Indian captains Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly by poking fun at the International Cricket Council (ICC). Harbhajan Singh is of the opinion that ICC requires more bowlers in their set-up in order to keep a balance between bat and ball while making rules. Earlier, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly also took a jibe at ICC’s ever-changing rules in ODI cricket.

On Tuesday, Harbhajan Singh took to Twitter where he cheekily suggested ICC to make limited-overs cricket more competitive. He implied that the game is shifting in the batsmen’s favour and high-scoring ODIs have become a regularity in modern-day cricket. He wrote that teams easily score above 300 in 50 overs these days, which also gets chased down successfully.

ICC hails opening combo of Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly
Earlier, ICC took to Twitter and praised the dominant opening combo of Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly in ODI cricket. The ‘Master Blaster’ cheekily replied that the pair would have scored many more runs if rules such as having two new balls and restriction of four fielders outside the ring were in effect during their playing days. BCCI President Sourav Ganguly was quick to respond to Tendulkar’s tweet and said that the duo would’ve added another 4,000 runs in that case.
