Solkar's take - 'This was the second innings of the 1971 Oval Test. Alan Knott played our spinners better than any of his team-mates, always looking to use his feet. He had made 90 in the first innings so I thought it was worth taking a risk by standing further up to grab any half-chances early on. Sure enough, he made a defensive prod, and I dived in front and took the catch. I was wearing a heart-shaped pendant around my neck that scratched my chest and got me bleeding. It didn't matter. The match turned from there and India won their first series in England.'
