Harbhajan Singh: A match winner who gave it his all

With 100-plus Tests and 400-plus wickets, most of them not exactly coming on rank turners, Harbhajan’s name will always figure among true blue cricketing elites.

A small spot jump followed by a two step angular run-up and a fast action that hoodwinked batters.

Harbhajan Singh would repeat this on sunny days, dreary afternoons and those nippy floodlit evenings for a decade at a stretch, winning matches for India. And then one day, it all came to a screeching halt.

Not all beautiful love stories have perfect endings and one can bet that as he bid adieu to the cricket field, the 41-year-old would have ideally liked a happier ending to his cricketing script.
