The Lord's Honours Board

Ajit Agarkar, the batsman

First Test - Australia V India

Former Indian fast bowler Ajit Agarkar was an underrated bowler for the Men in Blue in ODIs and was also a part of some of the memorable Test matches India have played.

This includes the historic Adelaide Test in 2003 and the 2002 Lord's Test match. In Adelaide, he picked a six-wicket haul in the second innings to set-up India's win and at Lord's, he picked just three wickets in the game, two in the first innings and one in the second.

But, one of the most shocking innings in the history of Indian cricket took place in that match. Chasing 568 runs to win, India were reduced to 170/6 and that was when Agarkar walked out to bat. He played a superb innings, reached his maiden Test century and got his name etched in the Lord's Honours Board.
