#9 Harbhajan Singh

The Turbanator is India's most successful off-spinner, having picked up a whopping 417 Test and 269 ODI wickets.
The Coca-Cola Cup was Harbhajan's debut series and he performed admirably, ending with five wickets. He was expensive in the 6th match, the game Sachin established himself as one of the greatest in the world, but he did manage to pick up the prized scalp of Ricky Ponting.
Harbhajan went on to have a successful career, winning the T20 World Cup in 2007 and ODI World Cup in 2011. He has been involved in many controversial situations, including the Monkey Gate saga, where he was accused of racially abusing Australia cricketer Andrew Symonds, and then later, an IPL match, where he slapped S Sreesanth.
Harbhajan is still plying his trade in the domestic circuit for Punjab.
#10 Harvinder Singh
The least known player on this side, Harvinder was roped into the national team following impressive performances for India's U-19 and 'A' sides.
He was solid if not spectacular in the Coca-Cola Cup, picking up three wickets in the tournament.
However, his international career consisted of just 19 matches - 16 ODIs and 3 Tests. He continued to toil in the domestic arena with Railways before retiring in 2008. Not much is known of his whereabouts currently.
#11 Venkatesh Prasad

India's leading wicket-taker in the tournament, Prasad was unplayable at times, making the batsmen dance to his tunes. He ended with 9 wickets from 5 matches, behind only Damien Fleming. Prasad picked up 2/41 in the 'Desert Storm' match but saved his best for the final, where he dismissed Ricky Ponting early in the innings. He finished with figures of 2/32, helping restrict the Aussies to 272.
Prasad produced many devastating spells despite not being an out-and-out quick. In a Test against Pakistan in 1999, he dismantled the visitors with figures of 6/33 which included a spell of 5/0.
Prasad retired from all forms of cricket in 2003 and decided to become a coach, with his first stint being head coach of the Indian U-19 side. He also acted as India's bowling coach in 2007 for a tour of Bangladesh, and as CSK's in the IPL.
