Javagal Srinath

Javagal Srinath

Do you know that Javagal Srinath is the only cricketer in the world to witness two ten wickets hauls by bowlers.  As a cricketer on the field when Anil Kumble captured ten wickets in an innings against Pakistan at Delhi in Feb 1999 and as a match referee when Azaz Patel of New Zealand captured ten wickets in an innings against India at Wankhede in Dec 2021

Azaz Patel with his 14 for 225 against India at Wankhede in Dec 2021 obliterated Javagal Srinath’s 13 for 132 against Pakistan at Eden Gardens in Feb 1999 for the best match figures by a bowler on the losing side

When I informed Javagal Srinath the second tit bit, he told me the first tit bit during a casual chat some time back
