work between the 22-yard wicket, an official release states.
Viswanath was acclaimed by the connoisseurs as the master
of square cut.
Viswanath
scored 6,080 runs at an average of 41.93 with 14 centuries
to his credit during an illustrious test career. He made
87 consecutive Test appearances between 1970-71 and 1982-83
and was the first Indian to score a century against all
opponents then.
Vishwanath
or "Vishy" to his friends, is also the sixth Indian
to record a century in his first Test. In November 1969
he played his debut test at Kanpur and scored 137 runs in
the second innings after having been dismissed for a duck
in the first innings!
