On Tuesday (July 28), the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced Team India for the 2-match Test series to be held on the Sri Lanka tour. The name of 33-year-old uncapped spin all-rounder Saransh Jain appeared in the team, seeing which many people were shocked. There were many people who had never even heard the name of Saransh before. Former Team India spinner Harbhajan Singh had a big role in taking him to this point.

A line spoken by Harbhajan touched Saransh’s heart. After Saransh’s selection in Team India, Harbhajan also talked about him and congratulated him. So let us know what is the connection between Bhajji and Saransh.

Saransh had shared some pictures on social media in March this year, in which he was seen with Harbhajan Singh. He wrote in the caption, “Thank you Harbhajan Singh for the wonderful session. Really learned a lot and looking forward to more such things in future.”

Further, Saransh wrote, “To gain something, one has to do something, not to lose something. These were not just words. They had depth and will always be with me.

What did Harbhajan Singh say on the selection of Saransh?

In an interview given to Times of India, Harbhajan Singh said about Saransh Jain, “He is a very humble boy who knows what he has to do. I congratulate him, his family and those who supported him for his special moment.”
