Step back in time and relive the golden era of Indian cricket with the wrist wizard Gundappa Ranganath Vishwanath. Born on February 12, 1949, this legendary batsman redefined elegance and timing through the 1970s.
In this rare footage from the Delhi Test of 1979, Vishwanath takes on Pakistan in the 2nd innings, scoring a graceful 34 runs off 86 balls — every shot reflecting his unmatched artistry. Known for his signature square cut and late cut, Vishy was a master of both pace and spin, and a true joy to watch.
From scoring a double century on first-class debut to a century in his first Test, and later winning the C.K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award, Gundappa Vishwanath remains one of India’s most beloved cricketers.
