Monday saw Harbhajan Singh become the 22nd man in the history of Test cricket to take 300 wickets. Here's a look at his landmark scalps...

First Wicket: Greg Blewett
Bangalore, March 1998
Picked ahead of Rajesh Chauhan (who was never selected again thereafter), 17-year-old Harbhajan bowled the Aussie number three, who allowed for turn that never transpired.

The then rookie spinner went on to add the scalp of fellow debutant Darren Lehmann to his innings tally, then failing to feature in the tourists' second knock as Mark Taylor's posse won the third Test and subsequently the series.

50th Wicket: Shane Warne
Chennai, March 2001
In the midst of a 28-wicket haul in two Tests, proving the veritable driving force in India's 2-1 series win, Bhajji trapped his fellow spinner lbw.

Aptly, he later hit the winning runs off Glenn McGrath as India celebrated Border-Gavaskar Trophy revenge.

100th Wicket: Wavell Hinds
Kingston, May 2002
In a near flawless innings of 113, the Windies opener succumbed to Bhajji's guile as Wasim Jaffer pocketed the catch on the long-on fence.

The departure of the centurion heralded the spectacular collapse on the hosts' part, the spinner going on to take five wickets in the innings and eight in the match. But batting indiscipline eventually saw India lose the fifth Test and the series 2-1.

150th Wicket: Nathan Astle
Mohali, October 2003
As Mark Richardson, Lou Vincent, Scott Styris and Craig McMillan all cashed in on a flat Punjab Cricket Association Stadium pitch, the Kiwi big-hitter failed to follow suit as Harbhajan found the edge and the gloves of wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel did the rest.

Such was the placid nature of the track, the match ended in a weak five-day stalemate and the two-match series in a dull 0-0 draw.

200th Wicket: Charles Coventry
Bulawayo, March 2005
Not managing a solitary wicket in the first innings, Harbhajan corrected the dearth with a four-for in the hosts' second knock, including the scalp of the debuting middle-order batsman.

Gautam Gambhir was on hand for the catch, with the Zimbos' hopes of victory falling an innings and 90 runs short in the end.

250th Wicket: Ricky Ponting
Melbourne, December 2007
Fetching a single-figure demise in the first innings, the Aussie skipper did so again in the second as his attempted guide to third man off his rivals' kingpin spooned straight into the hands of Rahul Dravid at first slip.

Despite Bhajji's triumph with the ball and Punter's lack of contribution with the bat, the hosts won the series opener quite handsomely, later holding onto the series win too.

300th Wicket: Ricky Ponting
Nagpur, November 2008
Returning from injury and snapping up the role as senior spinner in the wake of Anil Kumble's retirement, Bhajji snapped up the all-important wicket of Ponting once again, who played on cutting too close to his body.

As well has bringing up his triple century - the wicket also saw the animated spinner claim his 200th Test wicket on Indian soil.
