Ajit Bhalchandra Agarkar’s talent got detected in the famous Shivaji Stadium in Mumbai just like many of his predecessors. Aspiring of becoming a batsman, stalwart Sachin Tendulkar gave a new direction to his career after suggesting Ajit to bowl. His soft looks don’t usually give an idea of his attacking style of bowling. He has to his name the credit of taking the fastest 50 wickets and completing half century in 21 balls. Beyond the field, Agarkar, a Maharshtra Brahmin spresd the lesson of secularism bymarrying a Muslim girl, Fatima.
High point of IPL: If in the first match of IPL’s first season, Brendon Mc Cullum came heavily on teh Bangalore Royal Challangers through his bat, Agarkar weaved magic by his balling taking three wickets in the same, helping Kolkata Riders win.
