A freewheeling legspinning allrounder, Sairaj Bahutule provides balance and an attacking edge to any cricket team. From watching Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli tear him apart in a 664-run partnership in school cricket, he graduated to play alongside them for Mumbai. A fine run of performances, which culminated in a 13-wicket haul in the Irani Trophy, led him into the Indian team. But a brief string of one-dayers on subcontinental sleepers was damaging. He had a big legbreak, but almost no variations, and went back to work on his shortcomings. Three years later, Anil Kumble's extended injury allowed for a Test call-up against Australia, but he has since sunk back to merely being a contender, and although he had a good Ranji Trophy in 2003, he must struggle to put his name above Amit Mishra's in the list of preferences for first-choice legspinner.
