Universally hailed at one time as the answer to
India's long search for a genuine Test opener, Shiv Sunder Das finds
himself in a struggle to salvage a floundering career after making a
promising debut against Zimbabwe. Only the second player from lowly
Orissa to make it to the Indian Test team, Das does most things
right as an opener: he has an immaculate judgment of his off stump,
his feet movements are precise, and he keeps a still head in both
defence and attack. But though he was India's first-choice opener
for a while, he disappointed his backers by failing to convert
numerous good starts. He is yet to score a century against a strong
attack - both his hundreds have come against Zimbabwe at Nagpur, and
he was a forlorn figure during Indiašs tour of West Indies in 2002,
where he was repeatedly found stuck on the back foot, unable to
judge the length against the tall West Indian fast bowlers. On India
A's tour of England, as captain for the first-class matches, Das did
nothing special; he averaged 43, but seven batsmen averaged more, so
his effort to re-establish himself will continue in the near future |
