vivek razdan

vivek razdan -lrb- -rrb- -lrb- born 25 august 1969 , delhi -rrb- is a former indian cricketer who played in two tests and 3 odis between 1989 and 1990 .
after his retirement , he became a delhi-based cricket coach and commentator .
he attended st. columba 's school , delhi and completed his class 12 in 1987 from the sardar patel vidyalaya , delhi .
in an extremely brief test career , vivek razdan bowled in just two innings for india on the 1989 tour of pakistan , taking five wickets in the second of them in a fairytale beginning but he faded away just as swiftly as he had risen into the limelight .
having cut his teeth at the mrf pace foundation , razdan , then 20 , was selected for the trip to pakistan on the basis of just two first class appearances , one each in the duleep and irani trophies .
after making his test debut in virtual anonymity in the second test at faislabad , razdan came roaring back , using some disconcerting movement off the wicket to claim 5-79 in the final test at sialkot and help india to a 74-run first innings lead .
that was to be the extent of razdan 's test opportunities and although going on the subsequent trip to new zealand , he was not played in the tests and took just one first class wicket on the entire tour .
his third and last odi against sri lanka was at home in the 90-91 season during which , based in madras as an mrf trainee , he represented tamil nadu in the ranji trophy .
razdan was a key member of the delhi squad that lifted the ranji trophy in 1991-92 , making two hundreds , against services off only 96 balls , and in the quarterfinal against bengal , besides a crucial 93 in the final against his former team , tamil nadu .
apart from his exploits with the bat , he also grabbed 23 wickets at 25.82 .
but he soon slipped backstage and into anonymity , with his first-class career coming to a full stop two seasons later .
he has since taken up television commentary .
