Gul Mohammad

Gul Mohammad Biography

Gul Mohammad was one of the finest Indian all-rounders of the era. An attacking strokeplayer, a left-arm spinner, and a fielder ahead of his times who manned cover, he would perhaps have been at home in the age of T20 cricket.

Gul Mohammad is usually remembered for his two partnerships with Vijay Hazare. In a relief fund match of 1942-43, the pair added 302 for the third wicket. The big innings, however, came four years later. It was the Ranji Trophy final. Hazare (288) and Gul Mohammad (319) added 577 for the fourth wicket. It remained the highest First-Class partnership for any wicket till 2006 when Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene put on 624 in a Test against South Africa.

Gul Mohammad's First-Class career (5,614 runs at 34, 107 wickets at 27) were impressive. He also played 8 Tests for India, touring both England and Australia, and played Pakistan at home.

The Lahore-born Gul Mohammad took Pakistan citizenship in 1955. He played a Test for them against Australia, in 1956-57. Fazal Mahmood and Khan Mohammad rolled them over for 80 and 187, leaving Pakistan a mere 69 to win the match. Gul Mohammad hit the winning run in his final Test innings.

In his later days he was on the Board of Directors of Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. Liver cancer claimed him in 1992.
