Profile

Vikram Rathour was a prolific run-getter for Punjab in domestic cricket. He was especially known for his ability to play through the cover-region and rock onto the back foot to pull. Unfortunately, he found life difficult against the swinging ball in England in 1996 and Dominic Cork repeatedly induced him to edge it to the slip cordon. Interestingly, Rathour was a consistent performer when he came up against a County side during that tour.

Rathour soon faded away from the scene after not being able to impress during the tour of South Africa in 1996-97. He also played in a few ODIs, but with limited success.

But one shouldn't forget that Rathour amassed mountains of runs in First-Class cricket. Even after he was dropped from the team, he racked up more than 1,000 runs for two consecutive seasons in 1998-99 and 1999-00.

Rathour retired from all forms of cricket at the end of 2002-03 season. Rathour though, has continued to serve the game with diligence. At present, he is one of the five national selectors.
