Claim: Bharat Arun is incapable of being an Indian Test cricketer.

A 107 * for India Under-25 against the visiting Sri Lankans just before the selection of the side for the Tests against Sri Lanka won him a place in the side . He was part of the Indian under 19 team that toured Sri Lanka in 1979 under the captaincy of Ravi Shastri .   He played two Test matches of the series with the 3 for 76 in his first match as his best bowling figures -LRB- after slipping and falling down , to some hilarity , when he ran in to bowl his first ball -RRB- . He toured Sharjah in 1987 and appeared in all of India 's three matches without distinction . He was a part of the Tamil Nadu team that won the Ranji Trophy in 1987/88 .
