Sachin Tendulkar gave me gloves: Ajit Agarkar on reputation with bat in younger days

By Saurabh Sharma May 17, 2020 • 14:31 PM View: 1093

New Delhi, May 17: Apart from being one of the greatest fast bowlers to have come out of India, Ajit Agarkar was also known for being a very handy lower-order batsman. While Agarkar was the fastest to 50 ODI wickets, he also had three ODI fifties to his name. In Test cricket, his only century was an unbeaten 109 against England at Lord's which helped him get an elusive spot at the historic stadium's honours board for batsmen.

However, those that saw him batting as a young player in Mumbai would have said that his is also a story of unfulfilled batting potential, considering that legendary coach Ramakant Achrekar -- under whom the likes of Sachin Tendulkar blossomed -- took Agarkar under his wings after seeing him scoring runs in school cricket.
