Father-Son duos who have played Cricket for India
8) Hemant and Hrishikesh Kanitkar
Hemant Kanitkar played 2 test matches for India in 1974. He came into national reckoning by a series of splendid performances around the domestic circuit. But his international record did not come anywhere near his feats at the national level.
His son, Hrishikesh, also played a couple of test matches for the country. However, he will be more fondly remembered for his exploits (however brief) in limited overs cricket.
He will forever be linked with his winning boundary off Saqlain Mushtaq in fading light in India’s memorable victory over Pakistan. This was in January 1998, when the team chased a 300-plus target in the Independence Cup final.
