5 forgotten fast bowling performances by Indians in overseas Tests

#4 Roger Binny - 5/40 vs England, Headingley - 1986

Roger Binny, who was India's first ever Anglo-Indian cricketer, was a fine bowler during his heydays. Because he had a British connection, he would usually bowl well in England and was instrumental in India's performance during the Prudential World Cup in 1983.

With India famously winning in Lords, the pressure was on England to deliver in Leeds. Kapil Dev was second time lucky as he won the toss and elected to bat. India scored 272, with Dilip Vengsarkar scoring a defiant 61 against a good English pace attack.

England, in their reply, were demolished by the Indian pacers with Roger Binny and Madan Lal leading the way. England were bowled out for 102 and the Indian duo of Binny and Lal shared 8 wickets between them. It was Binny's effort which helped India gain a massive lead of 170. India responded well with Vengsarkar scoring a classy hundred in the second innings setting England an impossible target of 408.

England continued from where they left and got bowled out for 128 with Binny, Kapil and Maninder Singh leading the way. India won the match by 279 runs and registered a memorable series victory against England in 1986.
