Harbhajan Singh or 'The Turbanator' as he is popularly known has been a wonderful servant of Indian Cricket. The wily off spinner has provided many moments to remember over the years, including his famous hat trick in the 2001 test match against Australia in Kolkata. This passionate cricketer became even more successful after he added even more variation to his repertoire with the doosra - which turns away from the right hander.

In the IPL Harbhajan has stuck with the same team since the very beginning - Mumbai Indians, and he has become a fan favourite here. He even led the team for a short duration when Sachin Tendulkar was out injured.

He has picked up a total of 127 wickets in the IPL in 136 matches, with a five wicket haul along the way. However, his most impressive statistic is his economy rate - 6.95. To concede under 7 runs an over for 10 years as an off spinner on the usually flat pitches prepared in the IPL is an astounding achievement.
