IPL 2023: The cricketers from Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad paid a special tribute to Salim Durani.

Salim Durani, the debonair India cricketer of the 1960s with a movie star looks, a puckish sense of humour, and a penchant for hitting monstrous sixes on demand, died on Sunday at the age of 88.

While Sourav Ganguly singled out VVS Laxman's (281) and Rahul Dravid's 180 as the best-ever performances, former all-rounders Chandu Borde and Salim Durani reminisced their win against the Englishmen in 1961-62 and said it was a dream for yesteryear's cricketers' to play at the Eden.

The man who has been known over three decades for his towering sixes ' on demand ' has one very special demand from our master blaster Sachin Tendulkar.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has named former all-rounder Salim Durani for the Col. C.K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award.
