He stepped up to the plate whenever the need arose, becoming the only fast bowler to take over 300 ODI wickets for India. On Srinath's 52nd birthday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took to Twitter to wish the pacer. "67 Tests, 229 ODIs, 551 international wickets. Here's wishing Javagal Srinath- former #TeamIndia pacer and now a match referee- a very happy birthday," tweeted BCCI on Tuesday. His fast bowling partner, Venkatesh Prasad called Srinath "the finest genuine fast bowler India has ever produced". "We go back more than 3 decades. One the finest genuine fast bowler India has ever produced and a person with a great sense of humour. Wishing @iamjavagal a very very happy birthday. May Prabhu bless him with a long and healthy life," tweeted Venkatesh Prasad.More Related News
