\"All my best wishes are with them, and they're playing really good cricket. And I'm very, very proud of them. India is currently trailing 1-2 in the series. They showed great character as a team; they're a young team. And winning the second game after losing the first one\u2014that was great character. I feel that they're playing great cricket. Of course, it's 2-1 at the moment. But I'm sure that they will turn the tables for us,\" said Dhawan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Harbhajan added, \"I wish them all the luck. They are playing really good cricket even though they are 2-1 down. But still, they have made us proud by playing tough cricket. They showed the right intent. So, I wish them all the luck, and hopefully they will play well in Manchester. And when they come back to London in the Oval, it will be a perfect pitch and conditions for Team India.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
