BOWLS RIGHT-ARM OFF SPIN
He has gone through his fair share of ups and downs, but Harbhajan Singh, India's latest spin-bowling spearhead, is all set to embark upon a new phase in his career. His transition from a fiery teenager to composed senior will be crucial to his development as a cricketer. 'Bhajji', as he is fondly called, is India's most successful off-spinner and a bowler batsmen hate to play.
After a disappointing first season for cricketing reasons and otherwise Harbhajan bounced back in style in South Africa, picking up 12 wickets at an economy rate of under six. Now with the world's premier T20 competition back to India, the Sardar from Jalandhar will be hoping to make use of the Indian conditions and take the tournament by storm.
His spirit and grit along with his brimming talent should certainly help the Mumbai Indians take a step closer to achieving their ultimate goal of IPL glory.
