Mohammad Azharuddin shall go down as one of India’s most stylish stroke-makers. Azhar's batting was pleasing to watch as he maneuvered the ball beautifully with those silken touches. Azhar used his supple wrists to flick the ball on the side.
A master at piercing the gaps, Azhar could hit some lusty blows. Azhar became the mainstay of the Indian middle order in the 90s. Along with Tendulkar, he formed the nucleus of the Indian batting.
Besides his batting, Azhar was a superlative fielder. He pulled off some stunning catches at slips and his flick throw was a trademark feature of his signature fielding. He led the ‘Men in Blue’ with distinction all through the 90s and India won many multi-nation tournaments under his captaincy.
