Chandigarh, Dec 14: After achieving the number one status in Test cricket, Indian cricketers will strive to end the year on a high by winning the five-match one-day series against Sri Lanka, says offspinner Harbhajan Singh.
“We played an excellent game this year. We will strive hard to win the ODI series with Sri Lanka and end the year on a winning note,” Harbhajan told reporters here after launching a drug awareness campaign.
“We will not drop our guards and become relaxed and keep trying to win matches in future,” the seasoned tweaker added.
India ascended to the top of Test rankings after winning the three-match series against Sri Lanka 2-0.
The one-day series will begin at Rajkot on Tuesday.
Talking about splendid batting efforts of Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh that helped India level the two-match Twenty20 series against Sri Lanka, he said, “Both Veeru and Yuvi are great players. It is always a pleasure to watch Veeru and Yuvi batting on the field.”
Wishing a speedy recovery to pacer S Sreesanth, who is battling Swine Flu, Harbhajan said “I pray that with all our good wishes he recovers soon.”
