The Turbanator became the 19 player overall to complete 200 wickets in T20s after getting the prized wicket of Rising Pune Supergiant skipper Steve Smith during the league game.

Harbhajan has been associated with the Mumbai Indians since the inception of the IPL. In the IPL, he has picked up 123 wickets from 132 matches he has played with 5/18 being his individual best.

The Mumbai Indians have prepared a video dedicated to the Turbanator who has been offering his services to the franchise like a champion.


Here's which MI player said what about Harbhajan's achievement. Full video is at the end of this article.

Rohit Sharma: He's very very dear to me. Almost like an older brother. And what he has done with MI is simple amazing. He's fought all his life to get where he is. And that is something really encouraging for all of us.

He's shown us the way how to march, how to achieve it and he's someone who never takes a back seat. When you don't see anything right, he was the one who used to make things right.

Hardik Pandya: We have many legends in our Mumbai Indians family, He's definitely one. Ten years with Mumbai Indians and still rocking.

Jonty Rhodes: Too ofen international players will just stand and hit you but with Harbhajan Singh, there's real respect and often that plays to the minds of opposing batsman. More than just his ability. So he has a little bit of an aura and a presence which has worked really well for us at Mumbai Indians.

Krunal Pandya: He's aggressive on-field, but off it he's very calm and chilled out.

Parthiv Patel: He's a legend of a spinner, especially playing here at the Wankhede where none of the spinners have done well. But he has done well here for all ten years.
