#2 Harbhajan Singh
The feisty Sardar from Jalandhar captured the nation's imagination during that epic series against the mighty Australians in 2001.
He captured 32 wickets in that series. He is India's most successful off-spinner with a tally of 417 wickets in 103 tests.
As a skinny boy with a combative streak hajji made his debut against Australia in 1998. He was the first Indian to bowl the doosra.
An energetic run-up finishing with a slightly open-chested action, Turbanator, bowled his stock ball with a lot of overspin getting the disconcerting bounce off a length. His most prolific mode of dismissal was caught bat-pad on the leg side.
Constant shuttling between formats did take a toll on his effectiveness as a test bowler post-2007.
In the 46 tests he played post-2007, he averaged 35.91 which is three runs more than his career average.
He last played a test for India in 2015 and still very much active in the domestic setup.
