Bowling style
He has a relatively short figure as compared to his other fast bowling counterparts. But he
could still bowl at speeds more than 90 mph (~145 km/hr) owing to his athletic body and a
good run up speed. He has had a knack to bowl the reverse swing deliveries when the ball
gets old.
Career
Agarkar made his ODI debut against Australia at Kochi, on 1 April 1998. He took the
wicket of Adam Gilchrist in that match.
Soon after his debut, a 20-year-old Agarkar achieved his first Man of the match award in a
crucial Coca cola champions trophy match against Sri Lanka taking three crucial wickets
folding Sri Lanka for just 98.[2]
Amongst Agarkar's better performances were his performances in Australia in the Test
series of 1999, and also in the test series in 2003. At Adelaide Oval in 2003, Agarkar took
6/41, to help India to win their first test in Australia in over 20 years. Agarkar has performed
better in ODI cricket, where he takes wickets regularly, although his economy rate is
high.He has also had a number of good batting performances. He was the best Indian bowler
in the one day series during India's tour of West Indies in 2006.
As a batsman, Agarkar is one of the few players who scored a Test century at Lords against
England during India's tour to England in 2002 when he scored 109 not out. Although India
lost the test, his batting skills were quite noticeable. He also holds the record of the fastest
fifty in ODI's for India when he scored 67 not out in 25 balls at Rajkot against Zimbabwe in
