10 greatest cricketers from Mumbai

#8 Ajit Agarkar

Ajit Agarkar was one of India's finest right arm pacers

Ajit Agarkar was a fine right arm pacer who could swing the ball at decent pace. He is India's third highest wicket-taker in ODIs and made many match winning contributions. Agarkar was capable of playing some handy knocks with the bat as well. In fact, he even has a test hundred to his credit.

In domestic cricket, he grew to become one of Mumbai's most potent weapons in bowling. One of his notable performances in the domestic cricket came in the 2009-10 Ranji trophy finals against Karnataka in which he took 5 wickets in the second innings, ensuring a narrow win for Mumbai. He also captained Mumbai to the Ranji title in 2013.

In his international career, he held the record for being the quickest to take 50 wickets in ODIs. This record, after many years, was broken by Ajantha Mendis of Sri Lanka. He played 26 Tests and 191 ODIs for India scalping 58 and 288 wickets in each format respectively.
