Harbhajan Singh is one of the two players to have played for the same franchise for 10 years. Bhajji (as he is fondly known as) has been Mumbai Indians’ workhorse right from the start of the IPL.

On a batting friendly Wankhede ground (which is often known as a bowler’s graveyard), he has an economy of 7 and he has picked up 49 wickets in 45 IPL games that he has played at the iconic venue.

Overall, he has played 136 matches and has taken 127 wickets and is placed third on the highest wicket-takers list of all-time in the IPL. In fact, the off-Punjab spinner has bowled the most overs in the history of the IPL (486.3 overs). Hence, with the number of overs he has bowled, an IPL-career economy of 6.99 is an excellent stat. Thus, he is #2 on the best spinners list in the IPL.
