A great servant of Indian cricket ,who began his career during the mid-70s, Dilip Vengsarkar was one of the major pillars of the Indian batting until the late 80s.

Someone who was just born to bat, Vengsarkar stood up for his team and was known to score runs in the toughest of circumstances. His three centuries at Lord’s and a series-winning effort against England in 1986 is still remembered as one of the high points in his career.

However, the Mumbai batsman couldn’t replicate his success in the shorter version of the game. With the limited opportunities he got in the ODIs, Dilip had a decent career with an average hovering in the mid-thirties.

However, he could only score one century in this format compared to seventeen in the longest format.

His highest score of 105 in ODIs came against England in a losing cause at Pune in 1984. Batting first, India scored 214 with Vengsarkar being the major contributor with his 124-ball 105. However, in the 45-over match, the visitors were too good for the home side as they cruised to an easy 4-wicket win with 10 balls to spare in the match.
