6 players who would be missed by their IPL franchises and fans

#3 Harbhajan Singh

Pakistan v India - 2011 ICC World Cup Semi-Final — Harbhajan Singh showed his value with both bat and ball for MI

Harbhajan Singh is one of India's most successful spinners. A passionate player, Bhajji was part of the IPL and played for Mumbai Indians since its inception.

He brought a rich experience to the Mumbai side, which played a crucial part in the success for the team as they won the IPL title thrice.

He even led them to a Champions League Title win. Harbhajan was not only a wicket-taking bowler but also a clean striker of the ball who could cause serious damage with his pinch hitting.

He took 127 wickets in 136 matches at an economy rate of 6.95 with his best figures being 5/18.

In a match against KXIP in 2015, he scored 64 runs in just 24 balls. He was picked by the CSK at the 2018 Auctions after a decade-long association with MI.

Mumbai will miss Harbhajan for his performances and dedication, he was like a mentor for the young players who were picked by Mumbai at every auction.

About the author

Cricket was always like a religion for me since my childhood. It first caught my attention in the Kolkata test vs Australia and when South Africa chased down 434 against Australia, my fascination for the game has reached new heights.
My current drug is league cricket especially IPL and CPL. I loved when these formats proved every critics wrong.
I also love to analyse the game from data point of view and I would like to thank Sportskeeda for giving me this opportunity for expressing views on the game an its future.
