5 Indian father-son duos who played the same sport

Ashok Kumar scored the winning goal at the 1975 World Cup

#2 Lala and Mohinder Amarnath (Cricket)

Lala Amarnath was Indias first test centurion

The father (Lala) is the India’s first ever test match centurion and the son (Mohinder) was the man of the match at the 1983 Cricket World Cup final. Lala Amarnath was considered one of the best all-rounders of all time and both his Surinder and Mohinder would go onto represent India.

In fact, Surinder like his father would go onto score a century on debut. This would also make them the only father-son pair in cricket history to do so. However, it was Mohinder, who would become India’s go-to man in difficult situation, in terms of both batting and bowling.
