Profile
Ajit
Agarkar is the third highest wicket-taker for India in ODIs, then the
fastest to bag 50 ODI wickets, the fastest in terms of matches to
complete a double of 200 wickets and 1000 runs, fastest fifty by an
Indian, in just 21 balls.
Known for his ability to swing the ball both ways, both with the new and the old balls, Ajit Agarkar was considered to be India's answer for a fast-bowling all-rounder, for he was no mug with bat. Although he had enormous talent, somehow, Agarkar could not quite make notable contributions on a consistent basis and was blowing hot and cold throughout his career.
Agarkar the ODI bowler was more popular than Agarkar the Test bowler. Having tasted first-class cricket a couple of years earlier, Agarkar made his ODI debut in 1998, in a tri-angular series against Australia. He made an impact straightaway and became the highest wicket-taker in the competition. He continued to impress and took 22 wickets in his next 8 ODIs. He was also part of India's campaign at the 1999 World Cup, although he did not play all the match as his form dipped.
Agarkar's most notable performance with the ball in ODIs came against Australia at the MCG in 2004, when he bagged 6 wickets for 42 runs in a losing cause. He bagged his second and last fifer the next year, this time at Pune against Sri Lanka. Agarkar's best with the bat came against West Indies in 2002, when he made 95 to top score for India, after being promoted up the order to No. 3. He was also remembered for recording the fastest fifty by an Indian in ODI history, when he smashed a half-century off just 21 balls against Zimbabwe in 2000.
He made his Test debut in 1998, but was not seen as a great material for the longest format by the selectors. His heroic 6-wicket haul, which derailed Australia in the second innings of the famous Adelaide Test in 2003 and a stunning unbeaten 109 at Lord's in 2002, were the noteworthy performances in the Test match format.
Agarkar, who was part of India's successful World T20 campaign in 2007, was signed by the Kolkata Knight Riders for three IPL seasons since 2008, before he moved to Delhi Daredevils to spend three more years in the cash-rich league.
He was almost a regular member of Mumbai's Ranji squad and also led them to victory in the 2013-14 season. In 2011, after being left-out of the playing XI, Agarkar, who was disappointed at not being informed beforehand of his exclusion, wrote a letter to the Mumbai Cricket Association to relieve him from the squad.
In 2013, Agarkar announced his retirement from all-forms of cricket. Post-retirement, Agarkar began a new career as a cricket analyst.
