About Vivek Razdan
Vivek Razdan is a former Indian cricketer who played in two Test matches and three One Day Internationals in 1989 and 1990. After his retirement, he became a Delhi-based cricket coach and commentator. Having cut his teeth at the MRF Pace Foundation, Razdan, then 20, was selected for the trip to Pakistan on the basis of just two first class appearances, one each in the Duleep and Irani Trophies. That was to be the extent of Razdan's Test opportunities and although going on the subsequent trip to New Zealand, he was not played in the Tests and took just one first class wicket on the entire tour. After making his Test debut in virtual anonymity in the second Test at Faisalabad, Razdan came roaring back, using some disconcerting movement off the wicket to claim 5–79 in the final Test at Sialkot and help India to a 74-run first innings lead.
