England v India - Fourth NatWest Series ODI

Ajit Agarkar has been one of India’s most prolific wicket-takers in one-day international cricket. Agarkar has the ability to pick up heaps of wickets and put the opposition on the back foot.

Given his wiry and lean frame, Agarkar surprised batsman with his deceptive pace. Agarkar's deliveries skidded off the surface and hurried on to the batsman. He burst onto to the international scene picking up 50 wickets in just 23 games.

Agarkar’s penchant for picking up wickets with the new ball compensated for his erratic line and length. A touch expensive, Agarkar had the knack of producing some wicket taking deliveries out of the blue. Till date, he has one of best strike rates for an Indian fast bowler in one-day internationals. Besides his bowling, Ajit was a handy lower-order batsman who chipped in with useful contributions with the bat.
