Kolkata, May 26 (IANS) Indian offie Harbhajan Singh considers Latin American soccer powerhouse Brazil as his favourite team in the coming World Cup in South Africa.
“I don’t follow soccer too much. But I think Brazil is a very good team. Brazil is my favourite,” the turbanator told reporters on the sidelines of a promotional event in the city Wednesday.
Thirty-two top nations are vying for honours in the FIFA World Cup to be played in various South African cities between June 11 and July 11.
Harbhajan also wished luck to his team mates who will lock horns with hosts Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka in a one-day tri series followed by Twenty20s.
“They are all good players and all of them are talented. I wish them all the best,” said Harbhajan.
The Suresh Raina-led second-string Indian squad is on way to Harare via Johannesburg.
India begin their campaign in the tri series May 28 against the hosts at Bulawayo and then play Sri Lanka May 30 at the same venue.
India’s next two games are in Harare — against Zimbabwe June 3 and Sri Lanka June 5.
The tri-series final is slated to be held June 9 in Harare.
