He is an Indian former cricketer and current cricket analyst.
He is the son of Lala Amarnath, the first post-independence captain of India.
His brother Surinder Amarnath was a Test player.
Another brother Rajinder Amarnath is a former first-class cricket and current cricket coach.
He was seen in the latter part of his career, as the finest Indian batsman against express pace.
He made his debut against Australia at Chennai in December 1969, as a quick-bowling all-rounder.
At his peak, he was a class top-order batsman who mainly played at No. 3 for India.
He was also handy with the ball, swinging and cutting the ball with great skill and control.
He had a unique run-up where he slowed down as he reached the bowling crease.
Behind his seemingly lethargic demeanor were nerves of steel.
He played 69 Tests scoring 4,378 runs at a batting average of 42.50, with 11 hundred and 24 fifties and claimed 32 wickets at a bowling average of 55.68 apiece.
In 85 One Day Internationals, he scored 1,924 runs at an average of 30.53 and the highest score of 102 n.o. and claimed 46 wickets at 42.84 apiece.
