wicket-keeper, he plays for India internationally, Karnataka in domestic
circuit and is captain of Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League.

just 20 innings surpassing the record of Ahmed Shehzad who took 76 innings. He
is the first player in T20I history to score a century when batting at number 4
position or lower (110*). On 3 July 2018, Rahul smashed his second T20 International
ton against England. He is also the first Indian batsman to be dismissed
hit-wicket in T20Is.

Gundappa
Ranganath Viswanath (born 12 February 1949) is a former
Indian cricketer. He was one of India's finest batsmen throughout the 1970s.
Viswanath played Test cricket for India from 1969 to 1983 making 91 appearances
and scoring over 6000 runs. He also played in One Day Internationals from 1974
to 1982 including the World Cups of 1975 and 1979.
On his Test match
debut, Viswanath scored a century against Australia at Kanpur in 1969 in a
drawn match. He also recorded a duck in the same game, one of only four batsmen
to have done this in their first match. Viswanath is one of three players to
score a century in both his first class and Test debuts. He
scored 13 more centuries in his Test career and none of them came in a match
that was lost.
Viswanath also had a
brief stint as the Indian captain in 1979–80. In the two
Tests he captained, one was drawn and one was lost, the latter being the Golden
Jubilee Test against England. Throughout his career, Viswanath was renowned
for his sense of fair-play, and in this match he recalled Bob Taylor to the
crease after the umpire had already given him out. Taylor went on to score
some vital runs for England helping them to win the match.
Viswanath was awarded
Col. C K Naidu Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009 by BCCI which is one of the
highest awards given in Indian cricket. He also received the Arjuna award in
the year 1977-78.
