Gul Mohammad

Just five months before India's independence, Holkar and Baroda locked horns in the final Ranji Trophy when Indian cricket was trying to establish its feet on the international level.

The game was played by stars such as Vijay Hazare, Syed Mushtaq Ali, Maharaja of Baroda, to mention just a few. Gul Mohammad, a man of small stature but a great talent, turned into an outstanding performer among all these superstars.

With Vijay Hazare, he built up a huge 577-run partnership. Gul himself scored 319, the greatest knock of his entire career. In addition to being a star batsman, he was also a gun fielder and a good pacer. In 1946, owing to his exceptional national stint, he received an international call-up. At the Lords against England, Gul made his test debut and then played seven additional tests for India.

He returned to Lahore after playing eight tests for India and settled there. When he played against Australia for Pakistan in 1956, the southpaw became the third player to represent both countries.
