Mohinder Amarnath

One of the more enigmatic characters of Indian cricket, Mohinder Amarnath, also known as Jimmy played for almost 2 decades. However, he always had a stop-start career but when his career ended, he had established himself as one of the leading lights of Indian cricket.

As an all-rounder, Amarnath was like a talisman for India, but his debut match against Australia in Chennai did not go close to plan.

He scored 16 and 0 in the two innings respectively. With the ball, he picked up only 2 wickets even as he opened the bowling. India too went on to lose the match by 77 runs.

Later on in his career, Amarnath was regarded as the finest Indian batsman against fast bowling.
