| Cricketer, born in Mumbai, W India. The most consistently heavy-scoring batsman of the 1990s, his multimillionaire status testifies both to genius with the bat and the vast popularity of the game, particularly with the corporate sector, in India. He made his debut for Mumbai in 1988-9 and for India in 1989–90, and was Yorkshire's first overseas player in 1992. By the end of the 1999 World Cup, he had played 68 Test matches, 17 as captain, scoring 5177 runs (average 54·49), including 19 centuries, as well as 218 one-day internationals, with a record 22 centuries. |
