Srinivasaraghavan Venkataraghavan (pronunciation (born 21 April 1945), also known as Venkat, is an Indian former international cricketer and umpire. He was a right arm off break bowler and a lower order batter. He captained the Indian cricket team in test cricket and also at the first two ICC Cricket World Cups in 1975 and 1979. He represented Tamil Nadu and South zone in domestic cricket while also playing for Derbyshire in English county cricket from 1973 to 1975.

His international career spanned more than 18 years, the third longest for any Indian cricketer. Post his playing career, he later became an umpire on the International Cricket Council elite panel and match referee, standing in more than 150 international matches. He was also a selector, manager, sports commentator and a cricket columnist.

Venkataraghavan holds many records in test and first class cricket. He was the second bowler since Jim Laker to take the wickets of all ten opposition batsman in a single test match when he did so against New Zealand in March 1965 while becoming the youngest player to take a ten wicket haul in a match during the time. He is also the second highest wicket taker in first class cricket for India with 1390 wickets in 341 matches.

Venkataraghavan was awarded the Arjuna award in 1971 and the fourth highest civilian honor, Padma Shri in 2003 by Government of India. He received the C. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004, the highest award bestowed by BCCI on a former player.

Early life and family

He was the third highest wicket taker with 20 wickets in the Indian series victory.[18] He was captain of the Indian team that toured England in July 1979.[19] India lost the series 1-0 with Venkataraghavan himself having a low return of seven wickets in four matches.[20] He played three matches in the home series against Australia in September–November 1979 taking six wickets in three matches in the 2-0 series victory for India.[21][6] Venkataraghavan sparsely played international matches in the next four years before the Indian tour of West Indies in April 1983 in which he played his last ODI.[22] He finished his ODI career with five wickets in 15 matches.[13] He took ten wickets in the five test matches in the series.[6] Venkataraghavan played his last test match against Pakistan at Jalandhar during the Pakistan tour of India in September 1983.[23] He finished with 156 wickets in 57 test matches in a career spanning more than 18 years, the third longest for any Indian player behind Sachin Tendulkar and Lala Amarnath.[24]

Post retirement

Venkataraghavan made his international umpiring debut in the One Day International between India and England at Jaipur on 18 January 1993.[28] He made his test umpiring debut in the same month, with the match between India and England at Kolkata.[29] He was part of the inaugural panel of International umpires established by International Cricket Council in 1994 and was part of the Elite Panel of top umpires created in 2004.[30] He was an umpire in six Ashes tests and three World Cups in 1996, 1999 and 2003.[31] He was appointed to stand in a semi-final in each of the 1996 and 1999 World Cups and was the third umpire of the 1999 Cricket World Cup final between Australia and Pakistan at Lord's.[32][25] He also served as a match referee in five tests and eight ODIs,[32][31] along with serving as a selector, manager, sports commentator and a cricket columnist.[4]

Playing style

Venkataraghavan was an off spin bowler with a highly accurate bowling. He was one of the famed Indian quartet of spin bowlers in the 1970s along with Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, Bishan Singh Bedi and Erapalli Prasanna).[25] All four spinners played together in a lone match forced by injury meaning that the competition was high for one or two spots on the Indian team and hence longer breaks when a particular bowler was not favored.[4] He was also a useful tail-end batsman and strong fielder.[25]
