Balwinder Sandhu: the offspinner with an inswinger
Makarand Waingankar traces Balwinder Singh Sandhu's interesting cricketing career in the Times of India
The story of Ballu becoming a medium pacer is amazing to say the least. He was playing in 'D' division of a Mumbai Cricket Association tournament for Sind sports club. One day their main medium-pacer didn't turn up. The captain GT Punjabi threw the new ball to Ballu, who then was an off spinner! From that day, Ballu always bowled with a new ball.
