Harbhajan Singh will represent KKR in the second phase of IPL 2021 in September

Harbhajan Singh was last seen in action during the first half of the IPL in March. He donned the KKR jersey for the first time this year and was used sporadically by his skipper Eoin Morgan. He mostly bowled in the powerplays and was more involved as a mentor to the youngsters.

In IPL 2021, the veteran off-spinner went wicketless in the three matches he played and conceded runs at the rate of 9 per over. Harbhajan will be hoping to put up a better performance in the second leg of the tournament.
