Harbhajan Singh Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Harbhajan Singh (born: July 3, 1980) is a cricketer (right arm off break bowler) from India. He was born at Jalandhar in Punjab. He made his Test debut against Australia at Bangalore in 1997 and his ODI debut against New Zealand at Sharjah also in the same year.With a whiplash action, remodelled after he was reported for chucking, he excerises great command over the ball, has the ability to vary his length and pace, and can turn it the other way. His main wicket-taking ball, however, is one that climbs wickedly on the unsuspecting batsman from a good length, forcing him to alter his stroke at the last second.

During March 2001 against the Australians, Harbhajan took 32 wickets, which included a Hat-trick in three Tests. He also participated in the 2003 cricket World Cup.
One of his nicknames is The Turbanator, based on his bowling skill and the fact that, as a Sikh, he wears a turban whenever he plays. Harbhajan, or bhajji, as he is more popularly called, underwent major finger surgery early in the year 2004.
