Syed Kirmani (born 29 December 1949) is an Indian former international cricketer who represented his country as a wicket-keeper for nearly two decades. During his international career, his record included 160 catches and 38 stumpings during Test matches. He was a reliable lower-order batsman and, in the 1983 Cricket World Cup, was the recipient of the best wicket-keeper award. He partnered Sunil Gavaskar in a record ninth wicket stand, scoring an unbeaten 143 in the Madras Test. Always a central figure on the field with his closely-shaven head, he could dive and somersault to catch the ball, and was responsible for many batsmen being run out.Photograph credit: Augustus Binu
