Bigstar Players : Harbhajan Singh : About Me
Harbhajan Singh

Profile: The third-most successful off-spinner in Test history, behind Muttiah Muralitharan and Lance Gibbs, Harbhajan Singh matured very quickly in the top flight, enjoying his best moments to date against the world champions Australia prior to his 21st birthday.  He claimed 32 wickets in the three-match series, including India’s first-ever Test hat-trick at Calcutta, which led to an incredible and unlikely victory after India had followed on. ‘Bhajji’ soon put minor disciplinary problems from his academy days behind him to become one of the most respected bowlers in the world. His cunning use of flight and variety of pace is complimented by a vicious off-spinner and his doosra, which he developed later into his career. One of cricket’s great competitors and entertainers who always wants to be involved in the game.
