[ludhianvi]

Harbhajan becomes 3rd highest wicket taker for India, overtakes Be Ahmedabad | Thursday, Apr 3 2008 IST Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh became the third highest wicket taker for India overtaking spin legend Bishen Singh Bedi when he trapped Ashwell Prince of South Africa leg before for two on the first day of the second Test being played at Motera here today. Harbhajan with Prince's wicket moved on to 267 Test wickets overtaking Bedi's record of 266 wickets. Now only India captain Anil Kumble with 607 wickets and pace legend Kapil Dev with 434 wickets are ahead of Harbhajan Singh. Harbhajan Singh reached this milestone in his 65th Test at an average of 31.28. He has taken five wickets in an innings 21 times and taken 10 wickets in a match four times with best figures of eight for 84. ------------------- Dont recall a thread being made on this Not bad for a guy who isnt supposed to be in the Test team eh? 3rd highest wicket taker behind only Kumble and Kapil Congratz:hatsoff:

[Cricketics]

Singh Is King hope he improve his overseas record too. we need him after Kumble's retirement

[Zakhmi]

Bhajji...the turbonator! Keep it Up!! we need more spearheading from you!!!

[Sachinism]

wow a very average bowler is 3rd highest wicket taker for india shame on india

[Ram]

If he wins this match for us, that would be the ultimate icing on the cake for him.

[Lurker]

If this doesnt settle the debate of how much cricket modern players play and hence make all those records, nothing else will. Harbhajan Singh number 3 in all time Indian bowling list, gimme a break.

[Shehezaada]

i've been saying for a while now bhajji is onto something special. Excellent performance in this series and hopefully it'll get the better and he'll win us the match.

[amits]

i remember ppl saying way back in 2001 that harbhajan singh will end up with 500+ test wickets. that is still likely to come true, he will be our strike spin-bowler after kumble retires

[Laaloo]

hes only 27

[Yuvraj4Captaincy]

Truly a fighter and a great bowler...congrats bhajji!

[flamy]

Respek Bhajji! Many people were writing him off for the TEST spot..... deserves the MOS

[gs]

Bhajji has been a consistent shyte for the past several series, but was fantastic this series. He deserves his award.

[Gambit]

About time he did something. His best effort since the 4th test v WI in 2006.

[Yuvraj4Captaincy]

Great effort..well deserved mos.

[Dhondy]

Thought Steyn should have got the man of the series. He was pretty darn good, bowling at 150 kph.

[f.b.m]

Yeah, Steyn deserved to MoM more than Bhajji, could be the indian bias kicking in.

[Cricketics]

Singh is King - Well Done Bhajji no thread on bhajji yet. who won us this series. Best bowler of the series.. and then rightfully given the man of the series award WELL DONE HARBHAJAN SINGH SINGH IS KING

[graphic23]

Yup. I agree. I thought he bowled with a lot of heart in this series. He took 19 wickets at an average of ~26, which is phenomenal because they made 800+ runs in the first test match and 400+runs in the second test. He was our best bowler by a huge margin. I hope he gets better and better from here.

Top stuff by Harbhajan. His place was rightfully under scrutiny and he rightfully shut the critics up with a brilliant performance - spearheading the attack.
