He had the most beautiful left arm spinner's action.

RIP Sir

Sad. Instrumental in elevating Delhi Cricket. Was very outspoken and always critical of DDCA. Most of the time telling the truth but rubbing people the wrong way. My friend lived in the same building in Delhi as he did and always talked about him.

Om Shanti.. Never afraid to speak his mind

Sad news. Was India’s highest wicket taker for a long term me until Kapil Dev surpassed him. One of the spin quartets.

 

Om Shanti!

He had called Muralitharan a javelin thrower. Called out Harbhajan as well.
