Harbhajan Singh has shouldered the responsibility of being India's No.1 spinner after Anil Kumble retired in 2008.The 'Turbanator' took 39 wickets to emerge as India's leading wicket-taker in Tests. 16 of those wickets came against the Kiwis in India's tour of New Zealand early this year. Harbhajan was the leading wicket-taker in the series with a best of 6/63.
