Harbhajan Singh has hit a wonderful patch with his bowling off late. His last performance in New Zealand was exceptionally good, considering that the conditions hardly suited him. Bhajji as he is called by his teammates and fans, can be very miser with the leather in his hands. He is also explosive with the willow and off late has found a hobby in hitting sixes. In fact he did say prior to the IPL second edition that he has targeted a few bowlers whom he would love to cart out of the ground. The only thing Bhajji needs to counter is his over aggression which more often than not turns into anger, the result of which was the slap-gate incident last IPL. The off-spinner did give some really good performances with the ball in the ICC T20 WC in England. His spell against England in the Super Eight stage is particularly worth talking about. West Indies would be another good challenge for the Sardar and knowing his hunger for challenges, the Windies batting surely needs to be careful.
