5 Indians whose Careers went Downhill after winning the 2011 World Cup

#3 Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh was a sensationally talented bowler but lost his touch at a relatively young age

Very few bowlers in world cricket have achieved as much as Harbhajan Singh did in his long and illustrious career, spanning over 17 years.

Also known as the Turbanator, Harbhajan was a true match winner in his prime, playing over 100 test matches and taking over 700 wickets across formats, but he could have achieved much more.

At the age of 30, he was one of the senior-most players and the main spin bowler in the 2011 world cup team for India.

But Harbhajan’s career had already started going downhill, ending up with a relatively low tally of eight wickets in the tournament.

With Ravichandran Ashwin coming up to the ranks, Bhajji soon got dropped from the national teams, despite being the then highest wicket-taker in world cricket among players who had not retired.

Harbhajan did make a few comebacks into the national teams in later years, but could never be the match winner he used to be. Now, at 37, his international career is all but over.
