I am very emotional. It took me many years to recover from the death of my father. Even when I was playing cricket, I wasn't happy. I would just sit and cry. I was very young.

According to the situation, your role changes in one-day cricket, especially in a phase like the Powerplay. If I bowl four spells, four times I will be playing a different role.

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 1487493

You don't become the leading spinner of the team by just talking. You have to perform well consistently over a long period of time. I have bowled well and won games for India. That is why I am the No. 1 spinner. Every time I have taken the field, I have given my 100%. — Harbhajan Singh

I have entered the sports equipment business with 'Bhajji Sports.' I am applying for ICC clearance so that cricket bats with 'Bhajji Sports' logos could be used for international matches.

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 2217697

You have to see if the batsman is coming out, if he is staying back, what his grip is like, to gauge his intentions. A common trend I have observed is, a lot of batsmen change their grips when they are looking to hit: normally they either go high or slide their hand to the bottom of the handle to get maximum power. — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 958786

International sport is a lonely journey. You compete with one's self and try to grow as a cricketer. — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 537017

I think cricket is there in Usain Bolt's blood. Since I got to watch from close quarters, it was amazing to see him run up to bowl. The perfect delivery stride is understandable because he is a world champion athlete. But the manner - he loaded at the crease and then bowled the ball - left me zapped. He looked like a natural cricketer. — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 648983

I like wearing good clothes. Some of my friends who are into making clothes told me since I was already playing with my own brand of bat sticker, I should make a foray in fashion. The idea has worked very well. — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 773629

Most of the cricketers are doing side businesses apart from playing the sport, so why should I be left behind. I feel there is a lot of money in making films, and since Punjabi cinema is doing good, this is a lucrative option for me. — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 787160

I am not a great fan of computers. I do watch videos and analyse which batsman is playing how. Batsmen can play different shots on different days. A batsman may not play cover drives well, but if he connects with two such shots, he starts playing the drive well on that day. — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 856321

Ever since Sourav became the captain, I do not feel like a youngster in the team any more. Everybody is treated equally and Sourav himself is extremely approachable and a pillar of strength. Sourav stood by me when I was struggling. I owe a great deal to him for standing by me at the most important time. I can't express my gratitude to him in words. — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 898455

Cricket is my passion; it is my first love. So I will not act in my movies, as they will just be a side business for me. — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 920729

Four hundred is a lot. When I was young, I remember Kapil Dev getting it, and it was quite a big thing. An Indian had taken it. I feel honoured and proud that God has given me a chance to reach 400 wickets. It's a big thing for me; I don't know about others. — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 921091

It is always challenging bowling abroad - you don't get much spin, bounce. You do get bounce, but you don't get sideways spin. It is always drifting kind of spin you get. — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 1277143

Sometimes I just get over-excited. I see the pitch and I think, 'I have to get this wicket.' When I am just looking to bowl, I am calm and composed, and most of the time I get it right. The ball lands where I want it to. — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 965806

The batsman does not always need to create big hits. He can hit a boundary, then pick up some singles and still gets nine runs. To avoid that, I need to plan in a way where he must look to hit wherever there is a fielder. That is what is called 'bowling to the field.' — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 973012

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 1069692

Your shallowness or greatness of the soul shows up in your aura. — Harbhajan Singh

There are days where you do everything right and nothing goes in your favour. — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 286152

For a spinner growing up in England, it is challenging to become an off-spinner. The line and length needs to be altered on each of the four days of county cricket or five days of Test matches. The pitches in England don't have a set pattern. It changes with each day, and accordingly, the length varies. — Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh Quotes 1246776

Happiness comes out of contentment, and contentment always comes out of service. — Harbhajan Singh
