Profile
Of medium height and build, Rajinder Singh Ghai was one of several new
ball bowlers tried out to supplement the seam attack in the mid
eighties when the one day game became fashionable in India following
the World Cup triumph. A willingness to work hard and the ability to
move the ball appreciably helped Ghai to make the grade, but he found
his lack of pace and and his slight build a handicap and never could
really succeed at the international level. He went on the tour of Sri
Lanka in 1985 but was played only in the first class games. He also
was a member of the Indian team to Sharjah the same year. He
represented Punjab in the Ranji Trophy for over a decade and was one
of their leading wicket-takers. A hard hitting tail end batsman, he
had a highest score of 114 not out against Services in 1986-87. (Partab Ramchand)
