I have plans for Lara: Harbhajan

October 23, 2006 22:37 IST

Ace Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh threw a challenge to West Indies captain Brian Lara, saying he has a plan up his sleeves to unsettle the Trinidadian during their ICC Champions Trophy match in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

"Every team and bowler will have some plans to get Lara out. Definitely, I have some plans for him," Harbhajan said after a practice match on Monday.

The Jalandhar-based spinner said: "I am really looking forward to bowl to the Caribbean batsmen, particularly Lara.

"If I can get him out that will be great. Let's see what happens," the 26-year-old bowler, who has picked 161 wickets from 135 ODI matches, said.

Harbhajan has so far plotted the dismissal of 18 West Indies batsmen in one-day games and Lara was his victim on two occasions.

Harbhajan exuded confidence that India would come out tops in the match.

"Our players are in good form [for the battle]," said the 'Turbanator', who finished with figures of 1-27 in India's opener against England.
