Rajinder Goel, one of the best never to play for IndiacricketUpdated: Jun 21, 2020 23:49 ISTFormer left-arm spin legend Rajinder Goel, whose record Ranji Trophy wicket haul of 637 scalps still stands, passed away in Rohtak due to age-related illness on Sunday. Goel finished with 750 first-class wickets. Goel and contemporary left-arm spinner, Padmakar Shivalkar of Mumbai, dominated batsmen in the domestic circuit for three decades. Although Goel and Shivalkar were two of the finest spinners produced by India never to play for the country, their longevity and sustained success attested to their class. Famous for Viv Richards’ debut Test, Goel though was not included in the playing eleven.
