He was the best indian allrounder that existed in the game after kapil dev. Difficult to find players like him who can open the bowling as well as batting. He was equally good with the willow as well as the leather. difficult to say at which he was better.
his batting was a treat to watch.great accumulator of runs. He perfected the text book nearly. he was the pillar of indian batting at one stage. he was just fantastic with the ball as well. Great swing bowler and had amazing yorkers at the end of the innings up his sleeve. He mastered reverse swing as well.Was a nightmare for many.
Unfortunately he was caught up with the ugly phase of match fixing scandals and was foolish enough to allege the names of people at greater heights and probably lost all his fans through the process, so have the ms’ians. his business failed as well.seems to have run out of luck. lets wish him good luck, to achieve better status in whatever he does. He constantly reminds me of Aamir Sohail of Pakistan who coincidently went through the same process of accusing people of match fixing.
