Punjabi munda who picked his 1st, 50th , 250th and 300th wicket mile-stone against Australia. Harbhajan Singh making another milestone by entering in to 100 club test match and that's also against his luckiest side Australia.
"I don't know if I have a special connection with Australia, but it's nice to see your name alongside with greats like Sachin Tendulkar, Sunny Gavaskar, and all the greats who have played for India in 100 Test matches," Harbhajan said.
He is joining this elite club with Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Tendulkar, Laxman, Sehwag and some other Indian Players. The last cricketer who achieved this milestone from India was Virender Sehwag who did it against England last year and was the ninth Indian player to do that. Of course, tomorrow Bhajji will be the tenth player to get the membership of 100 test club from India.
It took a quite time for Harbhajan to get this elite membership. As he has the competitor in team like Ashwin and Ojha in the team.
"Playing for India itself is a big motivation. When you're not playing, that's what motivates you...that I should be there playing for India, I should work hard for the team and get there," Harbhajan told.
"It comes to individuals, if you want to work hard at that stage, or you want to just sit back and say I've played...it's fine whether I get picked up for India or not. But I want to play for India and that's the only thing I wanted," he said.
Apart of Harbhajan Singh, his friend and his national and IPL team mate Sachin Tendulkar who has appeared in the most number of test matches in the world. He may become the first player to open the 200 test club next year. As he has played 194 test matches.
That will be another huge milestone and a cricketing honor by Little master apart from his century of Centuries. And like the record of his 100 centuries his 200 test club will also be remain unaccomplished for a long long time.However, Jacques Kallis has played 162 test matches who knows what may happen?
