5 most iconic bowling spells by an Indian

#2 Harbhajan Singh vs Australia (Kolkata, 2001)

There was an aura of invincibility surrounding the touring Australian side back in 2001. The visitors stamped their authority immediately, winning the first test of the three-match series by 10 wickets in Mumbai on the third day itself. Few had given India a chance in the second test against a rampant Australian side which had piled up 15 consecutive test wins.

Things were going according to the script on the first day of the test match. Michael Slater and Matthew Hayden amassed 103 runs for the opening wicket and subsequently, Hayden and Langer added another 90 for the second before Harbhajan Singh prevented the former from completing his century.

Two more wickets, that of Langer and Mark Waugh, fell shortly after as the hosts found them putting a check on the Aussie momentum. And then, the Turbanator struck.

71.2 - Harbhajan to Ponting, out.

71.3 - Harbhajan to Gilchrist, out.

71.4 - Harbhajan to Warne, out.

Within a span of three deliveries, Bhajji turned the match on its head and gave India a rope, and a long one at that, to hang on. Though Steve Waugh and Jason Gillespie added 133 runs for the ninth wicket, the off-spinner got them both ultimately, finishing with figures of 37.5-7-123-7.

In reply to Australia's 445, India's first innings with the bat saw them somehow add up 171 runs, only to be called back to bat by Waugh. We won't be shedding much light on what happened next, as Laxman and Dravid redefined the very meaning of a comeback.

Chasing 384 runs in the fourth innings even after enforcing a follow on, the 'world-beaters' fell short by 171 runs, with Bhajji playing the tormentor-in-chief yet again by bagging six more Aussie wickets.
