Former India all-rounder Bapu Nadkarni dies at 86

The Hindu  

Former India all-rounder, Bapu Nadkarni, 86, breathed his last here on Friday due to age-related ailments. Born in Nashik in Maharashtra, Nadkarni — a left-arm orthodox spinner — was considered one of the most economical bowlers ever in the game, as he conceded just 1.67 runs per over in his Test career. READ| Durani: 'Budhi created his own shots' The cricketing fraternity still remembers Nadkarni’s feat of bowling 21 successive maidens in the fourth Test against England in Madras in 1964. Even though he is remembered for his economical bowling, Nadkarni also scored 1414 runs in Tests -- including a century against England and seven half-centuries.
