"My role is same in the team as it was 5-7 years back. We need to work as a unit. All the four or bowlers need to back each other. When it comes to goal, it was same when I was playing alongside Anil Kumble and Amit Mishra. It is to help each other in winning games," Harbhajan told mediapersons at the Open Session on the eve of team's departure to Dhaka.
India's third highest wickettaker in Test cricket once again stressed that he always had the self-belief to make a comeback.
"Last two years, I have been out of the team but I always had that in my mind that I am going to make a comeback and obviously I have been bowling well whenever I have got the opportunities at whatever level I have played,. The comeback was always in my mind and thats what I was playing cricket for," the 34 year-old said.
Asked about his partnership with Ravichandran Ashwin, the 'Turbanator' said,"Our main job is to win games for Team India and working and bowling with him will always be a good. Both of us are trying to win games for India. So we are goung there as a team and as a team we need to push everyone together and in one direction to win the game.
