Harbhajan Singh Reveals His List Of Top Five IPL Batsmen

Harbhajan Singh Names His Top 5 Favorite IPL Batsmen. Reveals How Ricky Ponting Used To Be Frightened With His Bowling:

During a recent Instagram live session with the Indian opener Rohit Sharma, veteran Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh named his top 5 Indian Premier League (IPL) batsmen. Rohit asked the ‘Turbanator’ to list those five batters he scores highest.The Jalandhar-born answered the question and selected his favorite five such batsmen.

Harbhajan chose two Mumbai Indians (MI) batsmen from his previous IPL franchise, two from Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and one from his new team, Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The offie started the proceedings by choosing the man he spoke to during the conversation, that is Rohit. The MI captain is the third highest run-getter (4898 runs) in the lucrative table.

Harbhajan has picked captain Virat Kohli and ‘Mr 360’ AB de Villiers from the RCB. Kohli is IPL’s top run-scorer, with as many as 5412 runs to his credit, while De Villiers is third-highest overseas run-scorer (4395) among international players in the cash-rich season.

Bhajji then went on to name his favourite thrill star, the present IPL team’s skipper MS Dhoni. Dhoni scored 4432 runs in 190 games-seventh highest in IPL history. So far, the Ranchi-born has also smashed 209 sixes, which is the third most and first of the batsmen from India.

Ricky Ponting Used To Get Out Just By Looking At My Face: Harbhajan:

Harbhajan also revealed during the chat that the former Australia captain and his Mumbai Indians teammate used to get out only by looking at him.

“I think Ricky Ponting used to get out just by looking at my face. I didn’t even need to bowl at him. When he came to play for Mumbai Indians, I thought he would improve after playing me in the nets. But even there I got him out 5-6 times,” said the 39-year-old.

Harbhajan and Ponting met 14 times in Test cricket, out of which Ponting was dismissed 10 times by the off-spinner, which is the most by any bowler.
