#3 8/84, Chennai (2nd Innings) – 2001
Both teams had everything to play for in the third and final Test at Chennai with the series at 1-1. Australia, courtesy of Hayden’s double ton amassed 391 runs, which was followed by a mammoth total of 501 by India.
With Australia on the back foot, India required to tighten the screws and Harbhajan Singh played a major role in the demolition of the Aussie batting line-up. Not only was he frugal, but also churned out wickets in a hurry.
No Aussie batsman had the measure of him as he went on to pile up his best figures of 8/84 in Test cricket. Whenever a partnership seemed to blossom, the Turbanator put a halt to it. Australia was bowled out for 264 that presented India with a target of 155, which they eventually accomplished, though with a hiccup.
