10 Indian players who made their domestic debut before playing the under-19 World Cup

Harbhajan Singh

In less than six months after his domestic debut for Punjab in the 1997/98 season, Harbhajan Singh tasted a lot of success as he represented India in the 1998 under-19 World Cup (11 January – 1 February 1998) in South Africa and went on to don the Indian colours in the Bangalore Test against Australia in March 1998.

Since then, there has been no turning back for the offie as he went on to become one of the greatest spinners to have graced the sport from India. He has been in and out of the side for a while and probability for making yet another national comeback is unlikely.

He has represented the Men in Blue in 367 matches across all three formats and has taken over 700 wickets in an outstanding career that is approaching its 20th anniversary. Harbhajan was a part of the 2007 World T20, 2011 World Cup and the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy and has also won the IPL thrice with Mumbai Indians.
