00:00Rishikesh Karnitkar, born on November 14, 1974.

00:04He is a former Indian cricketer who had a brief but memorable stint in international

00:10cricket.

00:11A stylish left-handed passman and a handy right-arm off-spin baller, Karnitkar represented

00:16India in two test matches and 34 one-day internationals.

00:42India will be looking for a few boundaries in the remaining overs to get them to 250

00:57or even more than 250, with the outfield slowing down the boundary hits towards the boundary

01:04area, the boundary rope area, but 250 should be a good score to defend.

01:10And over the infield is Amanda Longoff and he puts his hand up and it goes to six.

01:17So a lovely, sweet swing of the bat and connection with the ball over the offside.

01:23Well, he's impressed with his timing, Karnitkar, in the first match as well at Porchen.

01:29And this is again sweetly, sweetly timed.

01:36And this is again sweetly, sweetly timed.

01:43And the other one passed again, so two good deliveries for India.

01:50So at the end of Evan's spell, it looked pretty good until the last two deliveries, so his

01:5210 overs cost him 50, 216 for four.

01:58Well, that's a sign of the times, isn't it?

01:59Well, that's a sign of the times, isn't it?

02:00Hashten, six overs to go.

02:01Just four tickets down, they've got to take a lot of rest.

02:05And it's a big hitting coming up, that's for sure.

02:06Huckle the man bowling at the moment.

02:12It's a single, Mousseli Panikko who's taken the lead.

02:21Not just about 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6.

02:29This is Shingo, it's really funny girl who's taking the lead.

02:36It's just about to get through.

02:39The way they're going at the moment they might be.

02:47The way they're going at the moment they might be.

02:52Although his international career was short-lived, Kanitkar made a lasting impact in domestic cricket.

03:21By the time he retired in 2015, he had joined an elite group of only three best men, to have scored over 8,000 runs in the prestigious Ranji Trophy.

03:32He also carved a unique place in history as the only captain to lift both the elite and the plate league's title in the Ranji Trophy.

03:40A rare achievement that reflects his leadership and consistency.

03:44In ODI, Kanitkar managed one half century, which came early in his career against Australia at Koochee.

03:51But more than numbers, he is fondly remembered for one iconic moment.

03:56The Silver Jubilee Independence Cup Final in Dhaka against Pakistan.

04:00With India needing three runs of two balls, Kanitkar calmly struck a boundary that sealed a thrilling victory.
