Slight, fiery and gifted, Ajit Agarkar is still coming to terms with
being Kapil Dev's replacement as India's matchwinner with bat and
ball. The ingredients are there, and in the right proportions. But
they are yet to form a heady and long-lasting mix. Agarkar's entry
into international cricket - with an avalanche of wickets that made
him the fastest to 50 in ODIs - was matched for speed only by an
astonishing batting slump that saw him collect seven consecutive
Test ducks against Australia. But India knows he can bat, because
tailenders simply do not score half-centuries in 21 balls, as
Agarkar did in a one-day game against Zimbabwe, or score Test
centuries at Lord's, as Agarkar did in some style in 2002. His
aggression is an asset, but the body cannot sometimes support it. If
he finds his confidence, and develops strength, Agarkar could yet be
very special for India.
