About Mohinder Amarnath

Born in Patiala in 1950, the son of Lala Amarnath, independent India’s first Test captain, he is widely regarded by players and experts as one of the best Indian batsmen ever against genuine fast bowling. He received the C. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009.

He is celebrated for his courage against the fearsome West Indian and Pakistani pace attacks of the early 1980s, when he scored heavily in very difficult conditions, often without a helmet.
