By the way, Hirwani had an average of over 57 in 1989 and 1990 in 10 test matches! Once Kumble arrived, it was much more difficult for his comeback.

WV Raman also had sizeable opportunities, but he was clearly lacking technique to play in top order.

Sharath was probably more a contemporary of Rahul Dravid with a FC average of51 runs and they played u25 together, but Dravid was at a different class.

[Rajkumar Sharma]

Hirwani had a great start to his test career. I thing it was that era where we had some decent spinners in form of Maninder Singh, Arsad Ayub, Hirwani and Shastri as an allrounder spinner

Padmakar Shivalkar, Rajinder Goel, Utpal Chatterjee might be the unluckiest spinners in indian cricket history.

[Kumar]

Sarfaraz has one more century! He needs to be part of the Indian test team , if not the playing 11.

MP may pull a stunner as they dismiss Mumbai for 374. MP is 123 for 1 wicket. Can they pull a huge upset.

[Kumar]

And MP is wellon their way to first innings lead. Just 6 runs behind with 7 wickets in hand.

Mumbai needs a miracle to pull this off.

[Rajkumar Sharma]

Overall its 5th Ranji Title for MP, 4 as Holkars and first as Madhya Pradesh ( MP ), winning it after 72 years since they last won the title

[Rajkumar Sharma]

Plenty of notable performances has happened this season. BCCI needs to bring back Duleep Trophy & Deodhar Trophy to get India A probables, keeping in mind the upcomming vital games of WTC and the 50 over WC scheduled next year

[Rajkumar Sharma]

Domestic season now over, BCCI should start India A initiative. It has been quite a few month A tours have been stopped.Before Covid we used to have good number of A games. Sri Lanka, England, Australia are playing good number of A games recently and are developing their domestic talents

Some greatest contemporaries in Indian cricket where one was lucky to represent India and other had to say bye to the cricket field by playing only domestic cricket or much less international cricket then what they deserved

Padmakar Shivalkar & Bishan Singh Bedi
Rajinder Goel & Duleep Doshi
Lt.Chetan Chauhan & Arun Lal
Duleep Vengsarkar & Ashok Malhotra no comparison
Mohammad Azharuddin & Ajay Sharma no comparison
Chetan Sharma & Manoj Prabhakar
Javagal Srinath & Subroto Banerjee Subroto lost to Azhar politics, not Srinath
Anil Kumble & Narendra Hirwani
Sourav Ganguly & Woorkeri Raman Rahman's technique was very poor
Rahul Dravid & Devendra Bundela
Ajit Agarkar & Debashis Mohanty
VVS Laxman & Amol Mazumdar
Yuvraj Singh & Dinesh Mongia Mongia was highly over rated. Ganguly has maintained taking him in place of Laxman for 2003 WC was a poor decision
Harbhajan Singh & Sarandeep Singh
Sanjay Bangar & Ritender Singh Sodhi Sodhi was just average. Cool head but average bowler and batsman
Suresh Raina & Manoj Tiwary
Cheteshwar Pujara & Subramaniam Badrinath

Arun Lal steps down as Bengal head coach after making the team reach final in 2018-19 & semis in 2021-22

Wriddhiman Saha joins Tripura as player cum mentor

Ambati Rayudu is back to Baroda for the upcoming domestic season 2022-23

[rajitghosh]

Arun Lal had almost single handedly won Bengal the Ranji Trophy in 1989-90 based on his mathematical ability to calculate quotients. This gave rise to a famous slogan- lal bangla lal e lal arun lal arun lal. That year a 17 year made his debut in first class cricket who later achieved a lot in cricket and was part of many controversies. That year the captain was not Arun Lal but Bengal's wicketkeeper who 6 years ago became a selector and pushed for the inclusion of this grown up 17 year old in the test team. This was met with a lot of criticism but what was to follow at Lord's later that summer gave birth to a Prince.

[Mukherjee Babu]

Bengal had good fast bowling attack in form of Dattatreya Mukherjee and Rajiv Seth with Delhi team reeling at 90/5 with all big names in form of Raman Lamba, Manoj Prabhakar and Ajay Sharma back to the dressing room in seam friendly condition of Eden Garden.Spinners, Saradindu and the legend Utpal also had good game.Kirti Azad lead the fight with his innings of 93 but the rain spoilt what could have been a great final

[Rajkumar Sharma]

Hirwani at the top

[prasen9]

Hirwani and Ajantha Mendis got worked out. And not really groomed by the coaching staff and given opportunities to fix their stuff after they were worked out.

[Rajkumar Sharma]

Pujara another ton for Sussex, this time he is leading the County Side, toying with club standard bowlers except Umesh

Great debut for Washington Sundar in Lancashire with 4/69

Navdeep Saini picked 3/59 for Kent, but as usual going for @5 over, no sign of improvement
