Spare a moment though to think about the tough road to glory for Harbhajan Singh. After initially being picked for India and failing to live up to expectations, Harbhajan Singh was relegated to the cricketing wilderness for a time to come. When he did make his comeback to the Indian side, doubts were raised about the legality of his action. Dropped from the side, the young offspinner had to undergo the ignominy of several tests. The last one of those came in the form of a trip to England where former England off spinning allrounder Fred Titmus had a look at Harbhajan's action. Not six months before the Australia tour of India, Harbhajan lost his father - a big blow for a young man just 20 years of age. After almost being dropped by Indian Airlines, his corporate side, Harbhajan Singh's cup of woe spilled over. And how he bounced back from his troubles the true sign of character!
