#2 Harbhajan Singh 15/217 versus Australia, 2001

People often say this was the series which changed the face of Indian cricket. A series which helped India look into the eye and say we can beat the best. After an emphatic win at the Eden Gardens in the second Test, which also was the leveler, the stage had shifted to Chennai where the decider was supposed to be played.
Australia batting first scored a massive 391. Harbhajan was the only star for India with the ball as he picked up 7/133. In the second innings too the Turbanator took on the responsibility of cleaning up the Aussies. All except Mathew Hayden and Justin Langer fell to the flight and guile of the young offspinner as he finished with figures of 8/84 in the second innings. India almost made a meal of the run-chase but got there with two wickets to spare and lift the Border-Gavaskar trophy.
