#2 Harbhajan Singh

A complete package with the ball
Harbhajan Singh was a complete package with the ball

Plucky, belligerent, poignant and a match-winner, Harbhajan Singh was all about colour, both on and off the field.

The man from Punjab is India’s most successful off-spin bowler and his talent was unbridled and when on song, he could run through oppositions.

His greatest asset is his ability to change the flight, speed, and length of deliveries which befuddles the batsmen and then he also can spin the ball both ways.

A complete package with the ball, Harbhajan played in an era when the rules were heavily stacked in favour of the batsmen and came up triumphant.

In the 365 matches he has played for India so far, the offie has picked up 707 wickets with a strike rate of 58.7 and with an economy rate of 3.32.

Also, he picked up 28 five-wicket hauls and five 10-wicket haul.
