Ajit Agarkar came in the Indian side as a replacement for the irreplaceable Kapil Dev. At first sight this slightly built bowler from Mumbai looks an unlikely fast bowler. But the intensity and the aggression glinting in his green eyes, as he begins his lithe run-up dissolves all doubts of his being a pace bowler.
His ability to gather genuine pace has baffled most international batsmen- his record of fastest 50 one day wickets bears enough testimony to his wicket taking talents.
Ajit Agarkar is no stranger to batting either. His seven consecutive ducks ordeal against Australia notwithstanding, Ajit Agarkar has to his credit a test hundred, which he scored against England at Lords. He has also scored a fifty in 22 deliveries in a one day match.
That Ajit Agarkar has been in and out of the regular Indian side- is a deficiency one would attribute more to the temperamental Indian selectors than to this aggressive fast bowler.
Ajit Agarkar appears in every match as an underdog , but like most underdogs, he has the ability to make many self-proclaimed experts eat their own words.
