Yes , The photo is wrong . Pl put the correct picture. Vishy was a great player during 70's . Those days only 2 or 3 good batsman use to be in the Indian Team . Who can forget the series in 1975 India v/s West indies which was virtually Vishy v/s WI. I can not forget his classic 97 NO in Madras againist great bowlers like, Roberts, Holding, Gorner , Marshell etc.Again he is agreat sportman . Remember as captain he recalled Tayler for batting , eventhough Umpire has given the batsman out, By his decision India last the match , But won the hearts of sportman. I Thinh Vishy to be involved in coaching our batsman to face genuine fast bowling .

Vishy's 97 Not out was made against bowling of Roberts, Holder and Keith Boyce and Bernard Julian (Lance Gibbs was the spinner). Holding made his debut in the Following series in Australia 1976 which windies lost 5-1 and Garner against Pakistan in 1977 and Marshall against India in 1979 under Alwin Kalicharan. (Ask Vengsarkar, the only person, Marshall's soul will never forgive). West Indies team is the only team I follow for the last 35 Years, over Radio or TV (besides Aussies of now), so want to settle the facts. yes Vishy is a great player and a gentleman the game had. (Ask Bob Taylor of England, he would agree)
