Bishan Singh Bedi’s biggest contribution to the sport is as a coach
It is one of the lovely ironies of modern cricket that great cricket writers can wax lyrical about both fast and slow bowling. Whoever said Michael Holding’s bowling action was "whispering death" was perhaps a greater wordsmith than the man who described Bishan Bedi’s as "poetry in motion"; both, the speed merchant and the spin wizard tended to evoke superlatives in those who watched them in their prime.

Leg-spinners — endangered species of international cricket
I didn’t see much of Abdul Qadir’s bowling live, but growing up we had enough videos of him in our residence for me to see just what an artist he was.

Qadir was the man who started my journey into the admiration of leg-spin.

Yajurvindra Singh snaps a world record seven catches on Test debut
On February 2, 1977, Yajurvindra Singh wrote his name in the record books as he took seven catches on his Test debut against England at Bangalore.

He then held on to two more in the second essay – to make it seven for the game and level the record for the most catches by a fielder in a Test match.
