Former Team India skipper Mohammad Azharuddin has heaped praise on 1983 World Cup-winning wicket-keeper Syed Kirmani, calling him the number one keeper in the world.
While speaking to ANI at the book launch event of Kirmani's autobiography, "Stumped", Azharuddin highlighted that the former wicket-keeper took many good catches in India's 1983 World Cup triumph.
"He is the number one wicket-keeper in the world. Such a wicket-keeper was never born. It was not easy for him to do wicketkeeping with four spinners. He took many good catches in the World Cup in 1983," said Azharuddin.
