IPL History: Top 5 famous Indian-foreigner unions

#4 Harbhajan Singh-Andrew Symonds

Enemies turn friends.

India's tour of Australia in 2007-08 is termed as one of the most controversial contests ever happened in the game of cricket, and the players who took the center-stage for it were Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and Australian all-rounder, Andrew Symonds. The two players were involved in the heated 'monkey-gate' scandal that created a lot of strife between both nations. Things were so critical that at one point of time it looked to revoke the tour mid-way.

A few years later, IPL 2011 became the medium of sweetish swing in circumstances as Mumbai Indians roped in Symonds for $8.5 lakh, while Harbhajan was a part of Mumbai squad since the inception of the IPL.

For the 10 occasions, Symonds and Harbhajan featured in the Mumbai Indians playing eleven, and the bitterness between the both looked to ease-off. Before playing for Mumbai Indians, Symonds was a part of Deccan Chargers franchise from 2008-2010.
