'''[[Harbhajan Singh]]''' (born: 3 July 1980 in [[Jalandhar]], [[Punjab, India|Punjab]], [[India]]) is an [[Indian cricket team|Indian]] [[cricket]]er and India's most successful [[off spin]] [[bowling (cricket)|bowler]].

Harbhajan made his [[Test cricket|Test]] and [[One-Day International]] (ODI) debuts in early 1998. His career was initially beset by investigations into the [[Laws of Cricket|legality]] of his bowling action and disciplinary incidents that raised the ire of cricket authorities. However in 2001, with leading [[leg spin|leg spinner]] [[Anil Kumble]] injured, Harbhajan's career was resuscitated after [[Indian national cricket captains|Indian captain]] [[Sourav Ganguly]] called for his inclusion in the [[Border-Gavaskar Trophy]] team. In that series victory over [[Australian cricket team|Australia]], Harbhajan established himself as the team's leading spinner by taking 32 [[wicket]]s and becoming the first Indian bowler to take a [[hat trick]] in Test cricket.

A finger injury in mid 2003 sidelined him for much of the following year, allowing Kumble to regain his position as the first choice [[spin bowling|spinner]]. Harbhajan reclaimed a regular position in the team upon his return in late 2004, but often found himself watching from the sidelines in Test matches outside the [[Indian subcontinent]] with typically only one spinner, Kumble, being used. Despite unremarkable Test performances in 2006, which led to speculation about his lack of loop and his waning value as a strike bowler, he remains India's first-choice ODI spinner.
