Azharuddin

Mohammad Azharuddin About this sound pronunciation also known as Azhar is an Indian politician and former cricketer.He was an accomplished batsman and captained the Indian cricket team for much of the 1990s until his involvement in a match fixing scandal forced him into retirement.A member of the Indian National Congress Azharuddin won election from the Moradabad constituency of Uttar Pradesh to the Lok Sabha the lower house of the Parliament of India.

In his prime he had a graceful fluid batting style comparable to that of his English contemporary David Gower and Australian batsman Greg Chappell.The wrist flick was his most characteristic shot and he fared best against spinners.The grace and fluidity of his wrist once prompted John Woodcock a noted cricket writer to say Its no use asking an Englishman to bat like Mohammad Azharuddin.For it would be like expecting a greyhound to win the London Derby.
