00:00Parveen Amre was among those rare Indian best men whose elegance and promise lit up the

00:05cricketing scene in the early 1990s.

00:09A compact right-handed with a fine sense of timing, Amre represented India between 1991

00:15and 1999, featuring in 11 Test matches and 37 one-day internationals.

00:21Although his international career never truly blossomed into what many expected, there was

00:26always an air of class and grit about his batting.

00:30In this brief video, we travel back to Chandigarh in January 21, 1993, where Parveen Amre took

00:36card against England in the third ODA of the series.

00:40Parveen Amre responded with a steady knock against English bowling line-up.

00:44And so the lingering question for Cricketer was remains, did Parveen Amre deserve more

00:49opportunities at the highest level or was he destined to be remembered as a cricketer of

00:54talent whose potential remained only partially fulfilled.

01:01Oh, that's a lovely shot by Amre.

01:05This is our first look at him here on Sky Sports.

01:08And rushes away through the covers, what a glorious shot.

01:14Amre, like Vinod Kambli and Sachin Tendulkar, coached by Rabachan Archreker.

01:21So he's a predominantly front foot player, as you can see, he likes to get under the front foot,

01:26not afraid to drive, on the up, this one was a good delivery.

01:31But Amre has found the gap to perfection.

01:33Oh, the Umbar seriously...

01:35Oh, that's spanked away through the covers.

01:39Four more.

01:40Amre loves to play on the rise.

01:41Doesn't have to be a half folly, you can see.

01:42It's not quite up there, but he's lofted it over mid-off.

01:43Oh, the Umbar seriously...

01:44Oh, the Umbar seriously...

01:45Oh, that's spanked away through the covers.

01:46Four more.

01:47Oh, that's spanked away through the covers.

01:48Four more.

01:49Amre loves to play on the rise.

01:50It doesn't have to be a half folly, you can see.

02:05It's not quite up there, but he's lofted it over mid-off.

02:10He's going to try and finish it early.

02:12But Amre's got thoughts of catching the early train, perhaps.

02:17All well bowled by Reeve.

02:32Doesn't field it cleanly, though.

02:34Amre gets another single.

02:36And India at the end of 40 overs are 179 for four.

02:41Sharper attitude in the field.

02:43Oh, that's a lovely stroke.

02:45That's gone away for four.

02:46That was an absolute speech of a stroke.

02:48And even, Geoffrey, you would have been pleased with that one.

02:52Well, I'm almost speechless.

02:54That was an absolute cracker.

02:56India, when he was up at Oxford, he was pushed into a test match in 59.

03:00And at Leeds, I think, and got 100.

03:03Jarvis meantime to Amre.

03:05And big appeal.

03:06That must have been close.

03:08But not in Mr. Romani's views.

03:13Yes, that was a good shout there from Paul Jarvis and his England colleagues.

03:17The ball just pitching outside.

03:18Keeping a little bit low as it nips in.

03:20Hits him about the kneecap high look.

03:22I think he might have got an inside edge on that.

03:25The only thing that could have saved him.

03:26Because he was quite well back.

03:28But there is a very good reason for it.

03:30Which I'll give you in a second.

03:32Oh, splendid shot.

03:33Overdose his head.

03:34Four runs.

03:35In this brief video, Parveen Amre scored 24 runs of 32 balls.

03:48Spending 37 minutes at the crease and striking for crisply timed boundaries.

03:53It was not a flamboyant knock nor one of the towering proportions.

03:58But it showcased his ability to hold one end, rotate the strike and keep the scoreboard

04:03ticking at finishing line.

04:05Watching him bat was always a reminder of his sound technique.

04:09Low back lift, quick footwork and a calm presence at the crease.

04:13For those who followed Indian cricket closely in the early 90s, Parveen Amre symbolized the

04:19kind of best man who could bring stability to the middle order.

04:23Hizzling against England that day may have been short.

04:26But it carried hints of the promise that made him such a highly rated cricketer.

04:31When he first broke onto the scene.

04:34For the connoisseurs of the game, moments like these rekindled debates and nostalgia.

04:38What cannot be denied is that Parveen Amre, with his neat stroke play and quiet determination,

04:45left an impression on Indian cricket that still stirs discussion decades later.
