CEAT Lifetime Achivement - Bishen Singh Bedi

Regarded by many as the greatest left-arm spinner in the history of the game, Bedi was the first Indian to take 200 Test wickets. He was the most successful member of the quartet of slow bowlers that took India from strength to strength in the 70s. He captained India in 22 Tests, winning six. His tally of 266 Test wickets (from 67 Tests at an average of 28.7) was an Indian record until Kapil Dev surpassed it in 1985-86. After his retirement in 1981-82, he had stints as manager and coach of the Indian team.
