Javagal Srinath would go down as one of India’s finest seamers in ODI cricket. Post the retirement of Dev, Srinath spearheaded the Indian pace attack for over a decade.
The Karnataka pacer had the ability to seam the ball into the batsman and cartwheel a few stumps. Srinath could rack up some serious pace and was among the fastest in his time. Later in his career, he also developed a good yorker.
Srinath developed a potent new ball pair with Karnataka teammate Venkatesh Prasad. The pace duo produced many match-winning spells in overseas conditions. Srinath was India’s frontline seamer when a new crop of seamers - Agarkar, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra and RP Singh ushered into Indian cricket. Srinath bowled his heart out in conditions which were not very conducive to seam bowling. He could also pack a punch with the bat and was deployed as an effective pinch hitter in ODIs.
