Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh was selected as ‘Sikh Sportsperson of the Year’ at the World Sikh Awards 2011. According to a PTI report, the award citation noted that Singh “has the second highest number of Test wickets by an off-spinner. He is the 11th bowler in the history of Test cricket to claim 400 wickets. Harbhajan Singh was a major contributor to the Indian cricket team's victory during the World Cup."
Singh wasn’t able to receive the award in person – he was busy thwarting the batsmen of the Royal Challengers Bangalore and leading the Mumbai Indians to victory in the final of the Champions League Twenty20 tournament.
