Interesting Facts on Indian Cricketers

[rasi]

Guys, I was thinking of putting up some facts about Indian Cricketers.

 

[rasi]

Do you know that Sachin Tendulkar has been out stumped only once in his test career of 169 innings ( 16 not outs )?

That stumping was effected by James Foster, who fumbled all day to take the ball cleanly throughout the match. Incidently, the wicket fell the very next ball a pop-up came up saying that Sachin had never been out stumped in his test career. :P

Sourav Ganguly is the richest of the present day Indian Cricketers. He was born in one of the richest families in Bengal. His house has 22 rooms :OOO: and he has more than 20 cars :o .

He married Dona who was his next-house neighbour. They loved each other, but their parents would not allow them to get married. It was then Ganguly married her running away from home and left to South Africa that night for an India - south Africa tour, and then called his parents to inform them of his marriage. The two families reconciled thereafter.

A typical Indian movie. :

India`s first test was in 1932...

http://www.cricket.org/link_to_database/AR...-28JUN1932.html




Mohammad Nissar (RFM) was the first Indian to get a wicket...

Amar Singh( A bowler ) was the first to get a 50

India`s first win was against England in 1951/1952 ( to be fair it was a second string england side but who cares )

Best Indian players ever Kapil Dev,Sunil Gavaskar,Bhagwat Chandrasekhar ,Bishan Bedi,Anil Kumble,Sachin Tendulkar
