Balwinder Sandhu

Sandhu's chance in first class cricket came in 1980-81 when Karsan Ghavri, the regular opening bowler for Bombay, was away with the national side.He was not part of the side to play in the final against Delhi that season, but was included at the last moment when the originally chosen Ravi Kulkarni dropped out.Following a heel bone injury to Madan Lal, Sandhu made his debut in the fourth Test at Hyderabad.Those were India's only successes for a long time as Javed Miandad and Mudassar Nazar then went about setting a world record partnership.Punjabi Singer and actor Ammy Virk played his role in the film 83 (2021) directed by Kabir Khan based on the 1983 Cricket World Cup.
