Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh fired the first salvo at the Pakistan team on Thursday, saying absence of their former captain Inzamam-ul Haq would give hosts India an edge in the upcoming cricket series.

Pakistan, led by young captain Shoaib Malik, will play a full fledged series of five one-dayers and three Tests against India from November 5. “No doubt Pakistan is a tough team but without star batsman Inzamam-ul Haq, India will definitely have an edge over its arch-rivals,” Harbhajan said on the sidelines of a promotional function.
“Inzamam had the capability to turn the fate of a match under any circumstances,” he added.
