Ace Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh played more than 100 Tests, 28 T20Is, and 200 ODIs, amassing over 700 international wickets, and was part of two World Cup-winning Indian teams. During his career, there were concerns about the legality of his bowling action, especially his prolific doosra, which became the focus of debate. In 1998 and 2005, he was twice flagged for suspicious action.

Later biomechanical testing required by the ICC showed that parts of his movement, primarily the doosra, exceeded the 15-degree flexion limit. Before being allowed to bowl again at the international level, Harbhajan had to change his technique under supervision. Harbhajan regained his efficacy and was crucial to many of India's victories in spite of the criticism and technical modifications.
