I have plans for Lara: Harbhajan

October 23, 2006 22:37 IST

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