One of the best fast bowlers the game has seen, Richard Hadlee enjoyed a fruitful time in subcontinental conditions. His best performance in India came in Mumbai in 1998, when he took figures of 6 for 49 to knock India out for 294 and then while defending 282 runs for his side in the 4th innings, took 4 for 39 to bowl the hosts out for 145 and help the Kiwis register a famous 137-run win on India soil.
The whole series proved to be a terrific one for the seasoned campaigner, as he took 18 wickets in Tests to have the Indians poking outside the off-stump with his incredible accuracy.
