However, Harbhajan believes the toughest time in his career was when he asked to prove his action. The off-spinner was accused of chucking and had to undergo tests to prove his action was legal.

“Early on, when I had to go for a chucking test and came to England to get my bowling action looked at [by Fred Titmus, in 1998]. That was very tough”.

Harbhajan Singh hasn’t yet called time on his International career. However, his return to the side is all but impossible. Bhajji has had an illustrious career and he can be proud of the same. The off-spinner had played for the Chennai Super Kings in the 11th edition of the IPL.
