England vs India ODIs: 5 instances when England got bamboozled by an Indian spinner

#1 Harbhajan Singh (10-2-31-5), Delhi (2006)

Highest wicket-taker in the 7-match ODI series against England

After winning the toss, Flintoff decided to field first on a day match in Delhi. The Indian team struggled to find the rhythm and were reduced to 146-7, leaving Dhoni and Bhajji in the crease. Both of them stitched a crucial 55-run partnership for the 8th wicket to put up a decent total of 203 on the board.

Having to defend a meagre total of 204, India had the best start provided by Irfan Pathan, picking up 2 wickets in the 1st over. Bhajji with his variations, dried up the runs with crucial wickets and 2 maidens in his spell.

The enormous pressure built up in the middle overs by him resulted in another 5-wicket haul, guiding India to a 1-0 lead by 39 runs. With 37 runs and 5 wickets in the match, Harbhajan was rightfully adjudged as man of the match.
