In any case he did abundant to be voted India's Cricketer of the Century during 2002, advanced of Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar. His greatest feats were to advance India about jauntily, and by his all-round example, to the 1983 Apple Cup, and to yield the world-record accumulated of Test wickets from Hadlee. It was the backbone of the chase agent that took him assuredly to 431 wickets and alone a backyard beyond. He adeptness not accept been absolutely the bowling according of Imran, Hadlee or Botham at his best, and his bang amount was beneath than four wickets per Test, but he was still outstanding in his accurateness and adeptness to beat the ball, usually abroad from right-handers. And he could hit a brawl even added blithely than he bowled it, with apprehensible flair.
