A century in each innings (111 and 128) in the Ranji Trophy final against Karnataka at Bangalore in 1978-79 brought Surinder Khanna into the limelight. That season, he scored 657 runs (73.00) to star in Delhi's maiden triumph in the national competition. A capable wicketkeeper and a dashing middle order batsman, Khanna was a tower of strength to Delhi for many years and played a leading role in their successes in the late 70s and early 80s. When the selectors decided to drop Syed Kirmani for the tour of England in 1979, Khanna was given the big break. He played without much success in all the three World Cup games and the Test place went to the other debutant Bharath Reddy. He did not enjoy a very good record in the first class games, scoring but 41 runs in six games (four innings).
