Alimuddin, a sensational bat who could not live up to the expectation, was born on this day. He played 25 Tests for Pakistan. In his country’s first home series, in 1954-55 against India, he scored three half-centuries and an unbeaten 103 in five Tests. But he failed to show similar consistency over the rest of his career.

1966
Carl Hooper, the right-hand batsman and right-arm offbreak bowler for West Indies, was born on this day. Hooper made his first century only in his second Test against India in Calcutta. Hooper was a clean attacking batsman but he often failed to deliver when things mattered. The captaincy, which he took on after a prolonged absence from the side, briefly brought out the best in him, and for two years he averaged nearer 50.

Her love for sports started from an early age when she played gully cricket and football for local teams. Academics and professional hazards sometimes took her away from her passion, but it never died in her. She always nurtured the never-ending dream. So she materialized her dream in the form of ‘SPORTSAVOUR’. It is an online sports portal that serves sports with the tagline ‘For the indigenous, unconventional, unknown’.
