Baruipur (Kolkata), August 16: Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh today hailed Rahul Dravid’s return to the one-day side, saying the veteran batsman’s experience is just what the team needed ahead of this year’s Champions Trophy.
“(It’s) good to have him back in the side. Rahul Dravid is a great player. He is one of the best players India has produced. It’s great for the side,” Harbhajan, who was here to lay the foundation stone of a medical institute, said.
Apart from Dravid, veteran Sachin Tendulkar also returns to the one day team for next month’s tri-series in Sri Lanka and the subsequent Champions Trophy in South Africa.
Harbhajan said the experience of both the players would lend balance to the team.
“We have some senior players like Tendulkar and Dravid back in the side, so we have the required experience.
