Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh reacts af

At the turn of the century, Harbhajan Singh was India’s best off-spinner in ODIs. ‘Bhajji’ was difficult to score off, as he bowled a tight line and hardly erred in length. He bamboozled the batsman by mixing his ‘Doosra’ with his stock off-spin delivery. The ‘Turbanator’ got a good drift in the air and purchase off the surface.

A hard-core competitor, he played the perfect foil to Anil Kumble and formed a potent spin duo for India under Ganguly's captaincy. 'Bhajji' was one of the pranksters in the dressing room and his jovial nature lifted the spirits of the Indian team.
