IPL 2019:  Winning 'matter of life and death' at Mumbai than at Chennai, says Harbhajan Singh

Chennai spinner Harbhajan Singh's performance in the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League has been the talk of the town.

In almost every game, Harbhajan has given match-winning performances for the defending champions.

He picked up three crucial wickets in the opening match against Bangalore and repeated the heroics against Punjab.

The off-spinner, who was an integral part of the Mumbai team, switched to Chennai last season and won the title with the ‘Yellow Brigade’.

When asked what major difference he feels in the two teams, Singh in an interview to a newspaper said, "I have great respect for MI and they are wonderful this year as well, but the pressure of winning is more there."

"Here in CSK it’s more chilled out, you are expected to win, but it’s not a matter of life and death here,” the seasoned campaigner said," he added.

It will be crucial to see if Harbhajan can stop Jamaican Andre Russell from going berserk when Chennai lock horns with Kolkata on Tuesday.
