Five Indian bowlers and their bunnies

#4 Harbhajan Singh - Ricky Ponting

This is one rivalry that dominated the better part of the first decade of the new millennium. From fiery send-offs to court hearings, Harbhajan Singh was always at the heart of the India-Australia rivalry. He had an insatiable liking towards a certain Ricky Ponting, dismissing him ten times in fourteen encounters, the most by any bowler.

Ponting was also one of Harbhajan's victims when he recorded a famous hat-trick- the first in Tests for an Indian bowler in the Kolkata Test of 2001. Additionally, Harbhajan's 300th Test victim, which was his 200th wicket at home, was also Ponting.
