He finished with figures of 32-27-5-0 and bowled a record twenty one consecutive maiden overs (131 dot Balls in a row) in a 114-minute bowling spell.

In the final Test of that series, Nadkarni hit 52* and 122*.

It remained his only hundred in Test cricket.

1933

Rameshchandra Gangaram "Bapu" Nadkarni (4 April 1933 – 17 January 2020) was an Indian international cricketer, mainly known for being an economical bowler.

The chances of scoring against him was either nil, or negligible.

1951

Nadkarni represented Maharashtra in Ranji Trophy from 1951–52 to 1959-60 and Bombay thereafter until 1967–68.

1957

He scored 201* and took 6/17 and 3/38 against Saurashtra in 1957-58 and 167 and seven wickets in the match against Gujarat in 1958–59.

1960

His highest score was the six hour innings of 283* against Delhi in the 1960-61 semifinal.

He went on to work as the national team's assistant manager, and was a mentor to Sunil Gavaskar.

"His favourite term from where we all learned from was ‘chhodo mat’,” Gavaskar said following his death. It means hang in there. “Chhodo mat. You are playing for India. That thing we learned from him".

1963

Nadkarni was perhaps best known for his bowling in the Madras Test against England in 1963–64.

His figures at the end of third day of the match, bowling mostly against Brian Bolus and Ken Barrington, read 29 overs, 26 maidens, and no wickets for three runs.

1964

Nadkarni bowled a record 21.5 consecutive overs (131 Balls) without conceding a run against England in Madras on 12 January 1964.

Nadkarni was famous for bowling an unerring line to batsmen which made it nearly impossible to score.

It is often told that he used to put a coin on the pitch when he practiced in the nets, and would practice hitting the coin with every delivery.

He had a career economy rate of less than 2.00 runs per over.

Nadkarni took 5/31 and 6/91 against Australia in Madras in 1964–65, but with the emergence of Bishen Bedi as a left arm spinner, his chances became scarce.

1967

He was dropped from the tour of England in 1967 but, in New Zealand that winter, he bowled India to a win at Wellington with career best figures of 6/43.

On return from this trip, he announced his retirement from first-class cricket.
