5 wicket-keepers who had short but memorable careers

#4 Sadanand Viswanath (India)

The Karnataka cricketer was selected for the Indian team for the 1985 World Championship in Australia. The team won the series and also was victorious in the following series in Sharjah.

His contribution did not go unnoticed and even Sunil Gavaskar claimed that "People will talk about many other reasons why we won the World Championship of Cricket in 1985 but one of the main reasons was the presence of Sadanand Vishwanath behind the stumps."

However, he did not quite live up to the lofty standards, and many believe that the untimely death of his parents may have had an impact on him.

In his brief Test career which lasted for only 3 matches, he had a world record as he claimed six catches against Sri Lanka in what would be his final Test to equal the Indian mark.

Sadly it was a career which promised much, but could not realise it.
