#2. Harbhajan Singh

Second Test - South Africa v India: Day Two

The most successful off-spinner in the country, Harbhajan Singh's recipe to success was simple. Loads of flight, cunning drift, smart variations and plenty of aggression which made the batsmen feel uneasy.

During the decade of 2000-2010, he tagged with Anil Kumble and spearheaded India's spin department to torment batsmen across the world. He was especially severe against Australia whom he pulverized in the famous Test series in 2001 by claiming 32 wickets.

His smart change of pace enabled him to become India's go to man in the shorter formats of the game and he played a vital role in India's successful world cup campaigns in 2007 and 2011.

Bhajji, as he is famously known, has claimed 417 Test wickets in 103 Tests along with 269 ODI wickets.The off-spinner also has a hat-trick to his name in Test cricket.
