Mumbai, Apr 21 Former India off-spinner Pragyan Ojha backed Kolkata Knight Riders to persist with veteran cricketer Harbhajan Singh, especially because of his vast experience of playing at the Wankhede Stadium for the Mumbai Indians from 2008 to 2017. Harbhajan, who was bought by KKR in the February auction this year after being released by Chennai Super Kings, is yet to pick up a wicket for his new franchise in 3 games at the MA Chidambaram Stadium at Chepauk. But KKR have now shifted base to Mumbai and will be playing their next 2 games in the city where Bhajji spent 10 IPL seasons plying his trade for MI. Ojha therefore, backed the off-spinner to retain his place in KKR's XI when they take on Chennai Super Kings in the second match on April 21. "Dropping Harbhajan Singh will be a big call because he's got a lot of experience about Mumbai. He's played at least 10-11 years for MI in Mumbai.
