Salim Durani, whose match-winning deliveries and six-hitting skills are part of Indian cricket's folklore, and whose fetching looks added a dash of style and romance to the game in the 1960s and 1970s, passed away at his Jamnagar residence on Sunday. He was 88.
Durani, the first cricketer to win the Arjuna Award, had a surgery after breaking his thigh bone in January.
