Divya Delhi: Roger Michael Humphrey Binny would be on any Indian cricket Honours Board. This polite, soft-spoken Anglo-Indian of Scottish origin was India's 1983 World Cup champion and the highest wicket taker. Mahendra Singh Dhoni required 24 years to repeat the feat in South Africa. Right-arm swing bowler Binny took 18 wickets in eight games, but that wasn't all. He mocked and tortured every outstanding batsmen of the day, including Vivian Richards, Allan Border, and Chris Tavare. The English summer belonged to India's swing bowlers, led by Kapil Dev and supported by Roger Binny, Madan Lal (second-highest wicket taker with 17 wickets), Balwinder Sandhu, and Mohinder ‘Jimmy’ Amarnath Binny's razor-sharp outswinger to Vivian Richards in India's debut match against the West Indies at Old Trafford on June 9, 1983, is remembered by those who listened to the radio commentary. When rain interrupted play the night before, the West Indian great was singing. Binning off the great man in the first over of the game the next morning (yeah, we used to have an additional day for games) likely set the tone for India's rise to success.
