Binny was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium bowler. Binny was the highest wicket taker in the 1983 World Cup, taking 18 wickets in all. He repeated this exemplary performance in the 1985 World Series Cricket Championship in Australia by taking 17 wickets. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Roger Binny began his international test career in his home town Bangalore at the KSCA Stadium. Binny made his test debut in November 1979 against Pakistan and his One Day International debut in 1980 against Australia. In his test debut in 1979 against Pakistan, he confidently faced bowlers like Imran Khan and Sarfraz Nawaz. Binny performed extremely well and scored 46 runs. Binny continued to contribute to the Indian team as a commendable swing bowler and was an excellent fielder as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Binny\u2019s test career saw a few highs and lows, but he made a dramatic return in the 1983 World Cup. His coordination with Madan Lal helped India win its first cricket World Cup. Roger Binny was an asset to cricket, both in test matches, as well as one day internationals (ODIs). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Binny was known to salvage the Indian team in difficult moments. This included events such as scoring 83 not out and sharing a 155-run partnership with Madan Lal against Pakistan in 1983. As a bowler, Binny worked magic and bowled Indian to victory by taking 7 wickets in the match at Headingly in 1986. The 1983 cricket World Cup was by far Binny\u2019s most victorious moment. He was one of the star performers of the team, taking 18 wickets in that match sealing India\u2019s victory. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Binny played his last test match in March 1987 against Pakistan and his last ODI in October 1987 against Australia. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Roger Binny was the first Anglo-Indian to play cricket for India and currently serves as an office bearer at the Karnataka State Cricket Association.
