Senior off-spinner Harbhajan Singh believes that the "actual fun" is when one bowls on "challenging tracks" which can't exactly be called rank turners. While R Ashwin went for 167 runs in 46 overs in the first Test against England, Harbhajan termed it as "one off day."

New Delhi: Senior off-spinner Harbhajan Singh believes that the "actual fun" is when one bowls on "challenging tracks" which can't exactly be called rank turners. While R Ashwin went for 167 runs in 46 overs in the first Test against England, Harbhajan termed it as "one off day."

"Mazaa toh tab hain jab wickets challenging ho (It's fun when the track throws up challenge for the bowlers). You have to be consistent with your lines.
You have to toil to get wickets and that brings to the fore your skills as a bowler," Harbhajan said when asked about India's bowling performance on the first day in Rajkot. He also feels that England batsmen should be given due credit. "Root, Stokes and Moeen are all good players. They have batted well in the Test match so far.
'But it is still early days. You can't write off the Indian bowlers. I am backing Ashwin and Jadeja to come good in the second innings," Harbhajan said during a promotional event.
