5 famous players who were dropped after World Cup failures

#2 Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan made a successful comeback in World T20

Harbhajan Singh, one of India's all-time great off spinners, has had his ups and downs in his career. The 'turbanator', as Harbhajan is famously called, was an integral part of the Indian team across formats right from the beginning of his career. However, in the 2007 World cup, what is regarded as a dark chapter in India's cricket history, Harbhajan's international career suffered a major jolt.

The Indian team lost two out of it's three group games and were embarrassingly knocked out of the tournament. Following the World Cup, the spotlight was on the senior players and Harbhajan was amongst the players who had to bear the brunt of the debacle and he was subsequently dropped from the team.

But Harbhajan made a sensational comeback to the Indian team in the inaugural World T20. India went on to win the tournament and Harbhajan made a successful comeback the ODI side as well.
