HARBHAJAN SINGH
RIGHT ARM OFF SPIN & RIGHT HAND BAT
Born:
July 3, 1980, Jalandhar, Punjab
Teams:
India, Asia XI
First Test:
India v Australia at Bangalore, Mar 25-28, 1998
First ODI:
India v New Zealand at Sharjah, Apr 17, 1998

South Africa v India at Johannesburg, Dec 1, 2006
Short Profile:
One of the pillars of Team India’s spin attack, Harbhajan Singh alias Bhajji has baffled the best of international batsmen with his guile and chutzpah. The wild child of Indian cricket, Harbhajan had a somewhat unfortunate start to his career when he was reported for a suspect action just months after his debut in 1998. He underwent extensive action remodeling and coaching in England, and returned to knock the Australians off their feet in the epic series of 2001. His hat-trick in the first innings was one of the turning points of the series in which he claimed 32 wickets.Since then, the Turbanator, as he is popularly known, has paired up with other leading spinners to bring back India’s spin domination days. In recent times, Bhajji sparkled in the series against Sri Lanka where his bowling helped India win the second test match. Donning the mantle of a senior spinner in the Indian team, he has also dominated the series against Australia, England and New Zealand. If his outstanding performance in the recently concluded series in New Zealand is anything to go by, Bhajji is all set to torment the best of breed in IPL II.
