Ranchi, Oct 17:  Veteran India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh took a sly dig at South Africa's batting woes in the ongoing Test series against India by asking former cricketer and fielding great Jonty Rhodes to help his nation.

"Feels good to be back in the green and gold, even if it is only for a shoot at the iconic #mehboobstudio in Mumbai," wrote Rhodes with his post.

Harbhajan took this opportunity to joke about Proteas' batting problems."Can u play the last test in Ranchi, SA need some batting Jonty," Harbhajan replied.

"They need much more than me!!!" Rhodes shot back.

Virat Kohli-led India lead the three-match Test series 2-0 and play the final Test from Saturday, looking to further consolidate their position at the top of the ICC Test Championship points table.
