Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh carved a legendary IPL career as one of the league’s most feared off-spinners and clutch match-winners. From the inaugural 2008 season, the ‘Turbanator’ bamboozled batsmen with flight, dip and guile, turning slow, turning tracks into minefields. A three-time champion with Mumbai Indians, he delivered key spells in pressure knock-outs, often opening the bowling and stifling power-hitters in the Powerplay before suffocating them again at the death. His economy rate remained elite year after year, proving that dot balls can be as valuable as boundaries. A safe catcher and useful lower-order pinch-hitter, Harbhajan also provided invaluable mentorship, guiding young spinners inside the huddle. Later stints with Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders showcased his adaptability, stepping seamlessly into new dressing rooms and still controlling the middle overs. Fans remember his animated celebrations, never-say-die attitude and uncanny ability to break partnerships just when the opposition threatened to run away with the game.
