The Chinaman bowler topped the charts for most wickets during India’s crushing 5-1 series win against South Africa, claiming 17 wickets. His partnership with leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has given India an X-factor in their bowling and has played a big role in the team’s recent wins in limited-overs cricket.

A few days ago, Abhinav Bindra, the winner of the shooting gold medal in Beijing Olympics, had his Twitter account hacked by the Turkish Cyber Army.

The group has reportedly hacked the accounts of Bollywood actors Abhishek Bachchan, Anupam Kher, politician Ram Madhav and a few others.
