Harbhajan Singh celebrates his Test century against New Zealand, 2010

The 21-year old off spinner forced the world to take notice of himself with his incredible bowling hauls against Australia which included the first-ever Test hat-trick for India.

Harbhajan Singh, who has taken 417 Test wickets, has helped India on numerous occasions with his crash-bang batting style.

'The Turbanator’s greatest contribution with the bat arrived at a very crucial moment for India. After gaining a slender lead of 28 runs over New Zealand in the first Test, the home team exposed themselves in grave danger with the score reading 15/5.

The partnership between VVS Laxman and MS Dhoni steadied a few nerves, but India was not out of the woods when Dhoni returned with the score being 65/6. Harbhajan Singh, who walked out next, flailed his bat ferociously and marauded the Kiwi bowling.

With the array of natural attacking strokes, Harbhajan outscored VVS Laxman and was the significant contributor in the 163 runs partnership where his share was 93.

Bhajji’s onslaught pushed the New Zealand bowling on the backfoot and managed to secure a draw from what was a losing battle. The Turbanator scored another century in the next Test and proved that the previous innings was not a fluke.
