Harbhajan Singh has long been a match winner for the Indian cricket team. He bid adieu to cricket long ago and is now entertaining everyone in the world of cricket commentary. Today we are talking about the former off-spinner because today is Harbhajan Singh’s 44th birthday. Harbhajan Singh, who played international cricket for India for nearly 18 years, is known as a champion player. He was instrumental in helping the country win the T20 World Cup 2007 and the ODI World Cup 2011. Many records and world records are registered in his name. He is the only bowler in the world to take 6 or more wickets in four consecutive innings of Test cricket. He is the first cricketer to take a hat-trick in Test cricket for India.
Born in Jalandhar, Harbhajan Singh is remembered for leading the Indian team to many memorable victories. Harbhajan Singh single-handedly won the Test series for India. At the beginning of his career in 2001, Harbhajan Singh trapped a strong team like Australia in his spin trap. Bhajji is remembered for that 2001 series as Team India lost the first match, but Team India won the next two matches on the back of Harbhajan Singh’s strong bowling. The statistics of that series surprised everyone.
In fact, in the three-match series against Australia, the number 2 bowler did not even get 10 percent of the wickets taken by Harbhajan Singh for India. Bhajji took 32 wickets in that three-match Test series, while the second-highest wicket-takers for India in that series were Sachin Tendulkar and Zaheer Khan, who managed just 3 wickets each. Harbhajan took 7 wickets in the first innings and 6 wickets in the second innings of the Kolkata Test, 7 wickets in the first innings and 8 wickets in the second innings of the Chennai Test, which is still a world record.
Harbhajan Singh is counted among India’s most successful cricketers. Not just in terms of taking wickets, but he managed to win the T20 World Cup for India in 2007 and was also part of the 2011 ODI World Cup champion team. Apart from this he has also won many titles in the IPL for Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings and also achieved some success in the IPL as a captain.
