Harbhajan Singh was the number one spinner for the Indian team in the 2011 World Cup. The 'Turbanator' chipped in with wickets in the middle overs to choke the opposition. When he failed to pick wickets, he kept a lid on the scoring with his good line and length.

The left-arm pacer has taken 44 wickets in World Cup which puts him joint fifth in the list of highest wicket-takers in World Cup history.
