Syed Kirmani

Syed Kirmani played cricket for India and Karnataka as a wicket-keeper. In 2016, he was awarded the Col CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award for Cricket in India. Popularly known as 'Kiri', Syed Kirmani is generally regarded as the finest wicket keeper to play for India. He won the award for the best wicket keeper in the 1983 Cricket World Cup, his highlight of which was the catch of Faoud Bacchus that he took in the final against the West Indies. Replacing the effervescent Farokh Engineer, his quickness and spunky keeping caught one's eyes. Syed Kirmani can be ideally said to be the bridge between the spin quartet and the emergence of pace brigade led by Kapil Dev. He was proficient under both generations with his astute sense of keeping skills. He was awarded the Padma Sri in 1982 for his contribution to Indian cricket.
