Harbhajan Singh also shared advice for Yuzvendra Chahal who is having a tough series.
Veteran India spinner Harbhajan Singh suggests India can get rid of Australia's in-form batsman Steve Smith in the last ODI by trapping him with the spin attack. Smith has been in a terrific touch against India in the three-match ODI series. He scored a hundred in both the matches and won Man of the Match.
Harbhajan wants to see how Smith tackles the spinners in the last ODI. “I would like to see Smith batting against spinners,” Harbhajan told India Today. Australia has already won the first two matches and they have an unassailable lead of 2-0.
“You know, Yuzvendra Chahal or maybe Kuldeep Yadav coming in, in the side. They both bowling in tandem and bowl 7-8 overs of spin when Smith comes in. Steve Smith is someone who likes pace on the bat if you take that away from him for some time that might be the key point to get him out,” he added.

India leggie Yuzvendra Chahal hasn't found his rhythm in the first two matches. He went for plenty of runs and could only get one wicket in the two matches.
Sharing advice for the leg-spinner, Harbhajan said, “I don’t see anything wrong going with Chahal. It’s the conditions, it’s purely the different conditions what they get in Australia and what they were getting in UAE."
“It’s just as Virat said, Australians know their wicket better than others and they are taking their chances against him [Chahal]. So, my advice to Chahal would be to keep working harder on his game and bowl a little bit slower in the air if possible and you might see some turn on the wicket.”
