Harbhajan Singh, Off Spin Bowler, India

A player who exudes passion and talent, Harbhajan Singh has come a long way in his cricketing career. An off-spinner with plenty of aggression and exuberance, he made his debut in 1998 against Australia as an 18-year-old. Although his first Test was uneventful, he has blossomed ever since.

‘Bhajji', as he is fondly called, has a whiplash action but was forced to alter it after he was reported for throwing. He has superior control over the red cherry and cleverly varies his pace and length to fool the batsmen. Harbhajan also bowls the one that turns the other way and is called the ‘doosra'. However, his main weapon has been the one that rises viciously on the unsuspicious batsman from a good length, compelling him to revise his stroke at the last second.

Harbhajan's claim to fame came in 2001, when he single-handedly powered India to a 2-1 series victory over Australia. He became the first Indian to clinch a hat-trick in Test cricket in the same series. He is rated by critics as one of the greatest spinners in Indian cricket.
