With the most unprecedented and exemplary statistics, Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh remains as one of the most important bowlers India has ever got since the inception.
Bagging an innumerable 417 wickets in 103 Test matches 269 dismissals in 236 matches, his contribution to Team India is simply priceless. This occasional right-hander has also scored two centuries in the longest format of which 115 is his best.
Dearly called as Bajji, he became the first Indian bowler to pick a hat-trick in Test cricket. The 37-year-old, who hasn’t officially retired yet, last played for India in March 2016 against UAE, however, more is yet to come.
This day, 7th of July is a prominent one, as Bajji turns 37. The whole cricket fraternity went on wishing Harbhajan Singh on his birthday, all the juniors, seniors and followers on Twitter took on to their Twitter handles hailing the ‘Turbanator’.
Out of this plethora of tweets, as it is expected, Virender Sehwag’s tweet is an exceptional one. Revealing one of many unknown facts about Harbhajan, Sehwag appreciated the same for achieving such a tremendous success.
Paaji in his tweet revealed that Harbhajan once wanted to go to Canada and drive trucks to support his family but he changed his mind and went on to become one of the most successful off-spinners in Indian cricket’s history.
Taking to Twitter, Sehwag wrote: “Hpy B’day @harbhajan_singh From thinking of going to Canada & become a truck driver to support the family, to becoming 1 of d best bowlers, great journey.”
