&gt;&gt; Harbhajan Singh is rated as India&rsquo;s best and overall one of the finest off spinners of all time.
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;He was born in a Sikh family and is the only brother to five sisters.
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;His nicknames are &lsquo;Bhajji&rsquo; and &lsquo;The Turbanator&rsquo;.
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;Harbhajan is the first Indian to take a hat-trick in Test cricket. He did so in 2001 during India&rsquo;s tour of Australia.
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;In 2008, Harbhajan was banned by the ICC and was charged for racial insult towards Andrew Symonds. The ban was later revoked after appeal.
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;Later in 2008 during the first IPL, Harbhajan was banned from the tournament after slapping Sreesanth after a match.
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;In 2009, he was conferred the Padma Shri Award.
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;Harbhajan has been awarded the Man-of-series on three occasions in Tests and ODIs.
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;Harbhajan has reportedly been in an on-off relationship with Bollywood actress Geeta Basra.
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;Earlier, Bhajji&rsquo;s goal was to become a all-rounder in cricket.
&gt;&gt;&nbsp;He is famously known for bowling the &lsquo;doosra&rsquo;
