Harbhajan gives it back to the Aussies in the Grand Finale

--By Sagar Satapathy, Editor-in-Chief

Warning for the Australians! Don't take these young Indians for granted. They have the talent and power to hit you back if you do so. Harbhajan Singh just proved it. Andrew Symonds and Matthew Hayden have been targeting Harbhajan throughout the summer. They did everything possible to malign Harbhajan and give a deadly blow to his confidence.

Hayden even went on to call Harbhajan "An Obnoxious Little Weed" on Brisbane Radio, which forced the Cricket Australia to reprimand him. Despite the malicious attack against him, the ace spinner hit back by bagging the wickets of Symonds and Hayden in quick successions at a crucial stage, when they were leading the Aussies recovery in the first final of the tri-series. And, again, the script was written at Sydney, which was in the centre of controversy because of racism row.

Harbhajan not only broke the partnership between Symonds and Hayden, but also removed both of them. When Harbhajan struck, Hayden was batting on 78 and was looking dangerous. And, guess how did the Indian celebrate. Yuvraj and Harbhajan engaged in a mock "boxing match' to celebrate Hayden's wicket. No prize for guessing why they did that. It could be recalled that Hayden had invited Ishant (on Brisbane Radio) to a boxing ring to settle scores. So, the response was loud and clear. You lost the battle Champ!
