Harbhajan set to return for India

Mohali has to make us more hungry; we could not get the killer blow in India coach John Wright

India coach John Wright says Harbhajan Singh is likely to return to the side for the second Test against Pakistan starting on Wednesday.

The off-spinner made way for a third seamer in the drawn Mohali Test, but he has a fine record at Calcutta.

"Conditions suit us here and Harbhajan has a good chance of making the side.

"He has done well at the Eden Gardens and likes bowling here," Wright said of Harbhajan, who has 29 wickets at an average of 18.8 in four Calcutta Tests.

Harbhajan's bowling action had been under scrutiny but was recently cleared under new regulations introduced by the International Cricket Council.

Wright revealed leg-spinner Anil Kumble would be retained, with a paceman - possibly Zaheer Khan - to step aside for Harbhajan.

"I don't think we'll go with five bowlers," Wright added.

"Traditionally we have always played two seamers and two spinners here and it has worked for us."

The New Zealander said India needed to develop a "killer instinct" after dominating the first four days in Mohali only to draw.

"We could not get the killer blow in," he noted.

"Mohali has to make us more hungry. If you want to be a top side, you have to get the job done.

"This is an area where we are still learning. If we want to climb the list we'll have to have the killer instinct.

"This is what I look for and want from the team."

Pakistan started the final day's play just 53 runs ahead with four wickets in hand, but avoided defeat thanks to a gutsy century by wicket-keeper Kamran Akmal and resolute batting by all-rounder Abdul Razzaq.

"It was disappointing to get into a situation where we had an opportunity to win and could not achieve that," Wright added.

"In India-Pakistan contests, players always seem to find that little bit extra, but it came on the last day from the Pakistani batsmen."
