Despite losing their first two T20 matches against South Africa, Indian ace spinner Harbhajan Singh said on Wednesday that it will be really difficult to beat his side once they start winning the matches.

The 36-year-old said that there are many more matches ahead, insisting that his side have to play their best shot in their third T20 match at Eden Gardens on October 8.

"We have lost the series but we still have a lot to play in the series. A lot of ODIs are coming up and then the Test match. We want to play our best game tomorrow and we want to put up our best show. Hopefully, we will win tomorrow and from there onwards it could be a different story .Once we start winning we will be a difficult side to beat," Harbhajan told media here.

 

Reflecting his views on their shocking six-wicket defeat to the tourists, Harbhajan said that he doesn't think his side need to worry too much about the losses, insisting they should look forward to the upcoming matches.

"Every game is a challenge for us from here on. We have lost the series and we didn't play as well as we should have but Eden is always a very special ground for all of us. Obviously winning here will mean a lot to us," India's highest wicket-taking off spinner added.

Earlier, South Africa went on to win the second T20 match comfortably to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Faf du Plessis's side had won their first match by seven wickets at Dharamsala.
