One of India's most prominent off-break bowlers of all time, Harbhajan Singh is likely to call it quits in 2019.

Bhajji played 103 Tests for India wherein he clinched 417 wickets. The 38-year-old also played 236 ODIs and 28 T20Is and has 294 scalps in both the formats combined. The Turbanator last played a Test match for India in August 2015, and ODI in October 2015.

Even though Harbhajan managed to make sporadic comebacks in the side every now and then, his bowling has not been up to the mark. The lethal zip and turn which he produced earlier were missing.

The emergence of players like Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Jadeja has also kept Bhajji out of the national team.

After representing Mumbai Indians from 2008 to 2017, Harbhajan was seen in Chennai Super Kings colours in the 2018 edition. He only picked 7 wickets in the 13 matches he played was also quite expensive - having an economy rate of 8.48.

Bhajji is likely to bid adieu to the sport after the 2019 IPL.
