Harbhajan: If Australia plays well, India will win 3-0, else 4-0
He said, "I don't think they have the quality to do so. It is different bowling here and bowling there (in Australia)."
Melbourne: Veteran Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has predicted that India will completely dominate the upcoming four-match Test series against Australia, adding that the best the visitors can hope is for a draw in one of the games.
Predicting a resounding victory for India, Harbhajan said, "If Australia play well, India will win 3-0. That is if Australia play well."
"Otherwise, 4-0," news.com.au quoted him as saying.
Indian Off-spinner Harbhajan said, "I don't think the wickets are going to be that easy for them," said Harbhajan, who has 417 Test wickets to his name.If the ball starts spinning from the first ball, I don't think they will survive for long."

"That Australian team in the past had so much will and belief. I don't think this team has the belief to win in these conditions," he added.
The 36-year-old is also off the view that frontline spinning options for the visitors like Nathan Lyon, Steve O'Keefe, Ashton Agar and Mitchell Swepson will struggle to adjust to Indian conditions.
"I don't think they have the quality to do so. It is different bowling here and bowling there (in Australia)," he said.
The first Test in Pune (February 23-27) would be followed by games in Bengaluru (March 4-8), Ranchi (March 16-20) and Dharamsala (March 25-29). (ANI)
