Trivia
Mahendra Singh Dhoni born on July 7th, 1981 in Ranchi, Jharkhand is an outstanding Indian cricketer.
His ODI debut in December 2004 against Bangladesh wasn't a great start for him.
The following December Mahendra Singh Dhoni made his Test debut at Chennai against Sri Lanka.
He uses his massive frame to his advantage to pack punches in his batting and ruthlessly punishes both the seamers and spinners without any mercy.
Harbhajan is also an employee of Indian Airlines.
He has the second-highest number of Test wickets by an off spinner behind Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan.
He became the first Indian bowler to take a hat trick in Test cricket dismissing Ricky Ponting, Gilchrist and Shane Warne in successive balls.
Quotes
Winning the Lanka series is important but at the end of the day, if we do that, it will reflect in the ratings.
We don't really think about the ratings because we know that if we keep winning the games, if we keep playing well, the ratings will take care of themselves
Becoming the number one side is not important, we've got to maintain our performance level
It is important to bring fresh legs. Sreesanth is little different from Ishant when it comes to controlling the swing and I feel he is one of the best bowlers of reverse swing along with Zaheer Khan.
It's not a surprise to me that he's done well because he was quite a good bowler - there's no question about that - Fred Titmus
