Mohammad Azharuddin posts photos of old scooter - 'acknowledgment of my talent'

HYDERABAD: Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin on Friday posted on social media a series of pictures of him riding an old but seemingly well-maintained scooter, which someone presented to him in "acknowledgment of my talent".

"Fond memories of my early career days when I got this scooter as an acknowledgment of my talent. It was a great luxury as compared to walking or on some lucky days cycling for miles to reach the practise stadium in the wee hours," tweeted the stylish right-handed batsman, who played 99 Tests, captaining India in 47 of those matches.

His name, Azar, is prominently painted on the headlight of the green-painted scooter while the upholstery and the seat covers indicate that he continues to carefully maintain his prized possession from his early days as a cricketer.

Recently, Azharuddin had posted photographs of the bat with which he made a world record three consecutive centuries in his first three Tests of his career.

"With this bat, I made a world record of three consecutive hundreds in my first three tests against England in 84-85. In a season I scored more than 800 runs with this very bat, chosen by my grandfather. #FondMemories," Azharuddin had tweeted on May 21. IANS
