Before Ashwin came on to the scene putting paid to his hopes of continuing as the main off-spinner for India, Harbhajan Singh had led the Indian spin attack for a decade with aplomb. Bhajji could really turn the ball a mile when the pitch would assist him.

Together with Anil Kumble, the current head coach of India, Harbhajan forged a formidable partnership that lasted for more than a decade. The duo was the part of a stellar Indian outfit comprising the 'fab four' but it was their contributions primarily that won India many Test matches.

Who can forget Harbhajan's famous hat-trick against Australia in the second Test at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata in 2001? One of the finest off-spinners to have ever played for India, he along with Kumble made India a force to reckon within the subcontinent.
