Javagal Srinath made his One-Day International debut for India in the year 1991 against arch-rivals Pakistan in Sharjah. The right arm fast bowler was known for his ability to move the new ball and generate extra bounce because of his high-arm bowling action.

He was a regular feature especially in the One-day format and was also mighty effective with the bat. He was often referred to as a potential all-rounder but his numbers with the bat don't depict the same.

However, he proved his prowess as a bowler picking up 315 wickets in the 229 One-day games he played for India at an economy of 4.45. The Mysore born bowler bowled 137 maiden overs in his one day career which lasted more than a decade.

Only one Indian bowler has bowled more maidens than Srinath.
