IND vs AUS: Indian Veteran Harbhajan Singh Reveals The Cricket Series That Came As Turning Point Of His Career

By IANS News December 11, 2020 • 23:36 PM View: 1290

The Eden Gardens Test of 2001 against Australia is often considered the game that turned around India's cricket, giving them self-belief and confidence. Sourav Ganguly's team won a thrilling game thanks to VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid's batting after being made to follow-on. But before their historic partnership, the base was set by Harbhajan Singh's historic hat-trick, the first by an Indian in Test cricket.

Harbhajan, who was just 20 years old then, took three wickets in three balls in Australia's first innings to put the skids on their charge. From 252 for four with Ricky Ponting and captain Steve Waugh at the crease, the visitors crumbled to 252 for seven in the space of three balls on a batting surface.
