Feisty Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was chosen ‘Sikh Sportsperson of the Year’ at the World Sikh Awards 2011 for his “contribution to the Indian cricket team’s World Cup triumph“.
Harbhajan, however, could not receive the award personally here as he was busy leading Mumbai Indians to the Champions League Twenty20 title.
The citation for him read, “Harbhajan Singh Plaha, born July 3, 1980 is a Professional Indian cricketer. A specialist bowler, he has the second highest number of Test wickets by an off-spinner. He is the 11th bowler in the history of Test cricket to claim 400 wickets. Harbhajan Singh was a major contributor to the Indian cricket team’s victory during the World Cup.”
Ironically, the honour comes at a time when Harbhajan has been dropped from the ODI team due to his poor form.
