#4 6/73, Kolkata (2nd innings) - 2001
Even after a superlative show, India had every chance of losing the Test as they set the Kangaroos a target of 384 runs. Yet again, the Punjab off-break bowler wreaked havoc in the Australian batting line-up, this time with a six-wicket haul.
Australia took off on a positive note through an opening stand of 74 between Hayden and Michael Slater. Along with Justin Langer, Slater was constructing another healthy stand, but one more time Harbhajan dug India out of the pits.
From 106/1 in the 28th over, the Kangaroos slumped to 212 all out, losing their final nine wickets for 106 runs and therefore slumped to a hefty defeat of 171 runs. With 13 wickets in the Test, the Turbanator turned the series on its head.
Riding on V.V.S Laxman’s 281, Rahul Dravid’s 179 and Harbhajan Singh’s scintillating display of spin bowling, India drew level in the series with one Test remaining.
