Former India opener Virender Sehwag wrote that it was India’s loss to have never played him. “A very simple, humble man. Highest wicket taker in his last first class season. 750 First- class wickets but never played for India. Was India\u2019s loss. Rajinder Goel ji ko vinamra Shraddhanjali. Om Shanti,” Tweeted Sehwag.<\/p>\n

Have always been staggered by the records of Shivalkar & Rajinder Goel.
Here\u2019s Goel\u2019s FC record for you – 157 matches, 750 wickets!
59 five wicket hauls & 18 times 10 wkts in a match. Avg -18.58.
That\u2019s bradmanesque in bowling – 5 wkts every 2.6 matches.
RIP Goel Sir ?<\/p>\n
