Recently in an interview, one of team India's all-time leading wicket-taker, Harbhajan Singh opened up on the factor which will determine his retirement plans after the next Indian Premier League (IPL).

“I can’t say whether this will be my last IPL. It depends on my body. After four months of workout, rest, yoga sessions, I feel reinvigorated just like 2013, when I had 24 wickets in that IPL edition,” Harbhajan told PTI.

“To each his own. If someone feels he wants game time, good for him. If I bowl 2000 balls at the nets for a month, the amount of top-level cricket I have played, it’s good enough,” Harbhajan said.
