Famous comebacks in Indian cricket
2) Harbhajan Singh- 2000-01

The team included the likes of Slater, Langer, Hayden, the Waugh brothers and young stars Ponting and Gilchrist. The bowling was led by McGrath and Warne. It was as close to an unbeatable team as one can get.
But then in stepped a fearless 21 year old. Harbhajan was recalled to the team after previous instances of indiscipline. And what an inspired selection it was.
The wily off spinner captured 28 wickets in the second and third test matches with four consecutive 5 wicket hauls. He finished with 32 scalps in the series in the process starting lifelong rivalries with the likes of Ponting and Hayden.
