Veteran Team India cricketer Harbhajan Singh has expressed his thoughts on who, according to him, is India's biggest match-winner.

Over the years the Men In Blue has been blessed with some real game-changers in Nawab Pataudi, Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar to Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and MS Dhoni, who managed to guide India to victory on multiple occasions.

However, according to Harbhajan, former Team India skipper Anil Kumble is the biggest match-winner India has ever had in ODI and Test cricket.

The 39-year-old lauded the former legendary spin bowler for his prolific wicket-taking abilities despite not being a great turner of the cricket ball.

"In my view, Anil bhai was the greatest ever who played for India. He's probably the greatest match-winner India has ever produced."

"People used to say he didn't spin the ball, but he showed that if you had the heart, you could get batsmen out regardless of whether the ball spun or not," Harbhajan told Sportstar.

After making his debut for India back in 1990, Kumble managed to bag 619 wickets in Tests and 337 in ODI format of the game.

Singh also went on to add how he feels lucky to have shared the same dressing room with the former Indian skipper.

"If anyone has half the competitiveness Anil bhai had, he would become a champion," he said. 

"I'm lucky to have played with him for so many years. He was an unbelievably committed player," he added.
