Only two Indians in Harbhajan's list of best current five Test cricketers in world; no place for Kohli, Ashwin

India TV News  

England Test captain Ben Stokes almost pulled off another unthinkable chase before it got too steep at the end against Australia in the second Ashes Test at Lord's on Sunday, July 2. Barring the 2016 T20 World Cup final, Stokes has been England's saviour and the go-to player in big matches. Taking a cue from Stokes' 155-run knock, cricket analyst Ayaz Memon asked users to name five current cricketers in the world, who may not be the best but have the ability to change the gamer on its head and are big match players as far as Test cricket is concerned. Harbhajan's list included Steve Smith, Ben Stokes, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja and Nathan Lyon while he spelled wrong each one of them apart from the veteran Australian off-spinner.
