Mohammad Azharuddin

India headshots — Mohammad Azharuddin batted well, and led India to 3 multilateral ODI series wins in Sharjah.

The wristy right-hander who captained India throughout the 90's, has actually enjoyed a love affair with Sharjah since the 80's, when he started winning matches for his team there. He captained India to 3 ODI final wins in Sharjah, the first one consisting of a match-winning unbeaten 90 against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final in 1995.

He replicated a similar performance three years later in a Coca Cola Cup match here, whacking one of the most respected umpires in today's cricket - Kumar Dharmasena. In Sharjah, Azhar has scored 1660 runs from 58 innings at an average of 34.58, with one century.
