Harbhajan Singh feels indebted to Ramesh

Turbanator still feels that without Ramesh's flash of brilliance, he wouldn't have been able to create history. "I remember that I discussed with Da (Sourav Ganguly) and we decided to keep it on stumps and try for a third leg before but Warne flicked it. w to be honest, Ramesh wasn't most athletic of guys in that team. Yet at forward short-leg, he pulled off that stunner with a less than split-second reaction time. Whenever I have later met Ramesh, I told him, 'buddy my hat-trick belongs to you'," Harbhajan fondly recollected. That's why I believe that some things happen that come toger and such a beautiful thing happens. It was Ramesh's brilliance n and it's Virat's conviction w," said owner of 711 international wickets. most endearing thing, according to Harbhajan, was Rahul Dravid's celebration. "I have never seen Rahul so excited, jumping with joy. Perhaps, he also didn't believe Ramesh can pull off such a catch," he said.
