It’ll be a game filled with emotions for me: Harbhajan

“It’ll be a game filled with emotions for me given that this was my home ground for the first 10 seasons,” the 37-year-old Sardar said to the side’s official website on the sidelines of team practice. “As a professional, however, these are things that one needs to overcome and deliver, and that’s what I will be looking to do,” the former MI captain added. 

“CSK and MI have always had great games and as players that’s what one looks forward to as it gives one immense satisfaction in proving in these matches,” Harbhajan stated. “From one strong team to another strong team, it’s a new journey and with a new jersey number 27. I’m just going to go with the flow and see how it turns out.”

MI won the IPL thrice in the opening decade. “It wasn’t one season but 10 years and obviously I know the kind of cricket that it plays, but then it’s no secret because with every team playing each other over the years, each knows how the other approaches the game, the brand of cricket that it plays,” Harbhajan continued. 

“Obviously having been a part of the think-tank I guess I know more than most about how MI plays... The bottom line remains that one needs to play better that it to beat it and CSK has the team to beat it. It’s a big game and I can tell our CSK fans that we will give our best,” he concluded.
