(
1955 ,
Bangalore ,
Karnataka ) is an
India n former
Cricket All-rounder who is best known for his impressive
Bowling performance in the
1983 Cricket World Cup where he was the highest wicket-taker (18 wickets), and in the 1985 World Series Cricket Championship in
Australia where he repeated this feat (17 wickets).
Binny started his international career on his home ground, the
KSCA Stadium in Bangalore in the first
Test of the 1979 home series against
Pakistan . Against bowlers of the calibre of
Imran Khan and
Sarfraz Nawaz , he performed creditably in his debut match scoring 46 runs. Viewers still remember the
Six he scored off an Imran Khan bouncer in the 5th Test of that series. He was a useful
Swing Bowler and one of the better fielders in the Indian team of that time.
Somehow his Test career floundered, but he came into his own in the next
World Cup . The wickets suited his medium-pace, and in tandem with
Madan Lal , and led by the inspirational
Kapil Dev , he helped India win their first (and to date only) World Cup title.
He was the first .
