Harbhajan Singh’s reaction to Rahul Dravid’s spin bowling at India Nets: Grip jammed too wide

Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh reacted to Rahul Dravid’s spin-bowling in India’s nets session in Ahmedabad, saying the bowling would not change much as the head coach’s grip was too wide. Notably, Dravid bowled spin in the nets ahead of the second ODI in Ahmedabad to mark the anniversary of Anil Kumble’s 10-wicket haul on Monday, 6 February.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India shared the images and captioned the post: “@anilkumble1074’s celebrating 23rd anniversary of 10-74.” Harbhajan retweeted BCCI’s post and wrote, ‘The grip is too much jam.. You will not be able to spin as much as you want.’
