Nottingham: India faces hosts England in the fourth Test at Southampton and Harbhajan Singh is confident that Virat Kohli and his men will win that Test too.

After losing the first two Tests, India won the third Test in Nottingham by a mammoth 203 runs. 

PTI quoted Harbhajan saying, "After such a performance I back India to win the next Test in Southampton, and then anything can happen in the Oval Test. At the Oval, we could get a true Indian wicket with a lot of bounce and the lateral movement is less there as well." 

The veteran off-spinner also said that the conditions in Southampton will favour the Indian team.

He also said that England have been relying heavily on their bowlers and India could use this to their advantage. He believes India's bowling unit can do the trick in the upcoming Test.

"India has a great bowling attack now, which they didn't earlier. We had only Zaheer Khan and someone else trying to chip in, but now we have three good bowlers and now we also have a fourth in (Hardik) Pandya. In this match, he was matching up in terms of swing and pace to all other three pacers. It's a blessing to have three-four proper pacers in the playing eleven, which has never happened before in the history of Indian cricket that I have played in, or seen," he told PTI.
