Virender Sehwag has come out in support of Harbhajan Singh, saying he believed Harbhajan never said anything racist. Sehwag also said he hoped there would be no sledging in the Perth Test, which begins on Wednesday, but the team would respond if there was.

“We just want to come and play cricket. If they say something, we will also talk back, but hopefully there would be nothing against the spirit of cricket. Australians are famous at sledging. If they start it, we will not be quiet. It is good that we have some youngsters who can give back what is hurled on them. They have the attitude and the confidence. I mean why should we take it lying down? That’s how it should be, why should we be quiet? In the next Test, considering the circumstances, there might not be any chat. Let’s see.”

Sehwag said a player’s confidence is affected under these circumstances but the entire team was behind Harbhajan. “He has not said or done anything wrong. When two people get into a argument, you end up saying a few things,” Sehwag, who hit a breezy 113 against an ACT Invitation XI, told Star Cricket. “But Harbhajan knows what to say and what not to say.”
