March 21, 1949. The birth of one of the most graceful left-handed batsmen of West Indies, who carried the team single-handedly during one of the most demanding phases. Arunabha Sengupta looks back at the colourful career of Alvin Kallicharran.

It was a typical dank, cloudy, gloomy June day in London. Yet, the bleakness of the weather hardly had an effect on the soaring spirits of the thousands of West Indians who had assembled at The Oval. Impromptu steel bands filled the air with calypso rhythm from the moment the ebullient Keith Boyce had dismissed the Chappell brothers, Ian and Greg, within the space of six balls.

The 11th match of the first World Cup had been hugely anticipated, a showdown between the Australian fast bowlers and some of the most spectacular strikers of the cricket ball. But, it was the Australian batsmen who struggled against the West Indian fast men. As the ball darted about, only some sterling resistance by Ross Edwards and Rod Marsh enabled them to reach 192.
Alvin Kallicharran: A great promise only partly fulfilled

West Indies toured India in 1974-75.

The passionate cricket fans of the country identified with his origins, looks and last name

all of which bore the Indian stamp.  ::confused::

With 454 runs, Kallicharran emerged second on the batting list after Clive Lloyd, with a crucial 124

in the first Test.

There is a school of thought which believes that the two early blockbusters of Subhash Ghai :

— Kalicharran and Vishwanath —

were named after the immensely popular cricketers of those days :

Alvin Kallicharran and Gundappa Viswanath.
