- Unfortunately only 4 out of 137 runs are captured. Remaining lost either due to cameraman’s carelessness or film editor’s stupidity. Treat this like a visit to an archeological remains!
I compiled this in reverence to our beloved Vishy.
Music Is from Aradhana which was released during the same year.
It is a shame and a point of deep disgust/disappointment that there is not a single stand in any of the stadia in India named after him, when lesser mortals have got that honor. Indeed, the KSCA should reflect on the injustice done to this genial touch artist and promptly name one of the stands of Chinnaswamy Stadium after him. I am also surprised at the apathy shown by fans/admirers of Vishy in his own State for not being able to make this happen for so long. It is a also a sad reflection on the lack of such affirmative action from other stadia in Calcutta, Chennai and Kanpur where Vishy played memorable knocks and entertained the crowds.
Vishwanath was selfless. Never cared for his career. He was too good an Indian who never sought fame, allowed everyone around to grow their career like Gavaskar, and Tendulkar. He doesn't hail from Mumbai. That's the other reason maybe.
I agree wid u sir.
Nityabrata Das he was the archetypal kannadiga. Low key and not super ambitious 😌

PEOPLE USED COME WATCH VISHWANATH PLAYING
WHEN VISHY GOT OUT STADIUM SEY PUBLIC BAHAR NEKALTEY THEY TRANSISTER THODA TIME KO T V THODA TIME KO OFF HO JATHA THA STADIUM THODA TIME SILENT
ACTUALLY VISHWANATH 1ST 360DEGREE PLAYER AUR 1ST INDIAN PLAYER I C C RANKING AAYA
When I was a teen ager, I had an opportunity to watch a Ramji trophy match between Andhra and Karnataka in 1975, at Visakhapatnam. The Karnataka team was too strong with Vishwanath, Brijesh Patel, Sudhakar Rao, Roger Binny and Kitani for making a strong batting line up and Prasanna and Chandrasekhar two internationally famous spinners marking a strong bowling side. Not surprisingly, Karnataka team won the match quite comfortably in spite of a decent first innings batting performance by the Andhra team. What impressed me the most was Viswanath's brilliant batting and Chandra's fantastic bowling particularly in the Andhra's second innings. Vishy and Chandra served both Karnataka and India with distinction. Hats off!
Andhra was very unlucky to face the wrath of Vishys blade on his debut.He was a very thin then ,came in and hammered the team with a classical 256 not out.This pitch forked him in to national recognition.
No where in the cricket stadiums, no stands are named on these great players
I think ,he scored 137 with 25 fours. Can you imagine 100 runs in form of 4s.The stylish and aggressive player.This combination nobody has.
Exactly Right.Ausi Captain was Bill Lorry he did not recognise vishi was spacialist in off side stroks particularly squar cut.
Vishwanath in full flow was a treat to watch!As a kid I remember his sparkling century in India's 2nd Innings against the Windies in the Calcutta Test 1974-75
Yes your are correct
But he is not stylish. Gavaskar is stylish
@@treatseaweed Sorry Sir.
GRV had supreme style and even Gavaskar has accepted. Also please read Gavaskar's Book Sunny Days
I remember the moment vividly when Vishwanath was out on zero in first inning .and was disappointed. He scored century and I was delighted .I remember the whole series as I had seen Bill Lorry , Stakpol , Shehan , Ian Chappel , Doug Walter ,Graham Makenzee in action during the Match in Pune in Oct 1969 against west Zone ( Chandu Borde Ajit wadekar Dilip Sardesai were in this west zone team) Thank you Jai for reviving these 50 year old memories. Looking forward for many such posts.
Vishy the real 360 degree player in all times. 360 means late cut, square cut, cover drive, off drive, strait drive, on drive, midwicket , pull short, hook, glance , what else. Those and thease days no such Mr. 360.
Very true
He was definitely Mr. Square Cut, but watching him execute the glance was just bliss!
one of the greatest players india has produced. his square cuts were great. he could find gaps with ease. such a nice gentleman
Add his trade mark wristy flicks to the cuts .
The flicks would bisect repeat actualy bisect the forward and backward shortleg fielders!
0 in first innings and classy 137 in second innings.
I always thought Vishy would score an effortless 100 when others struggled to get 20s. All time great Gavaskar included
Jairaj:
Gundappa Vishwanath is my all time favorite Cricketer. One of the finest human beings. I watched your latest episode. Loved the tippani again. Loved the song selection also.
I lived half a kilometer from GV's house in JP Nagar. I used to see him water his plants every day in the evening, when I was returning from my college every day.
Those were days - it was a belief those days that India would never lose a match if Gundappa Vishwanath hits a century. It turned out to be true until his last century - I think. I have to do a fact check, though.
Thanks again - Very nicely made video. Loved Dr. Rajkumar's photo in the background as well. You look equally good in the video - like a movie star. ;)
Your are right Kennedy. Most of GRV 100s as well as 2nd.innings 50s have resulted in India winning the tests.
We always thought when Vishy scores India wins.
India has never lost the match whenever he scored a century. He was very close to lose that distinction. In the Bombay Test against West Indies in 1974-75 he made 95 and India lost the match.
In Melbourne 1981, Vishwanath scored a century.. Australian target was only 140 odd but Kapildev and co bowled Australia out for 83 and so Vishwanath's record of India not losing a match when he scored a century remained intact.
Thank you Sir for uploading our beloved Annavru Vishwanath's first test. I Observe Kannada legendary actor Dr.Rajkumar,s photo in the background when you are talking. Here I wish to mention that in the 1970s Vishwanath was the next most popular person after Dr.Rajkumar in Bangalore. Vishy was also affectionately called as 'Annavaru' by fans.
Very true
I was 10 yrs old and listening to the commentary at the lunch table and vividly remember when was out LBW to Mallet for 137
Mr. Jai great compilation. Vishy went on to become a cricketing legend.
I had the opportunity to watch Vish playing for South zone against Aussies in 1969 at Central college ground Bangalore. No player could or can match his wrist work. Big salute to Vish.
Jai, cannot thank you enough for restoring and presenting a glimpse of the genius of Vishy!!!
I listened to each & every run he made in that 2nd innings on AIR!!! By the 4th day close of play, he was 69 n.o with 15 fours & topped it up the next day reaching 137 with 25 boundaries!!!
Me too
A few weeks later, I watched come out to bat at Chepauk. And that partnership with Wadekar on the 4/5 days!!
I was 12 then at school and listened to the radio commentary. Ist innings Vishy made 0
Good reminiscence. Actually he was not out on 69 on the first day of his second innings. i was 13 years old then.
1969 I was in second year of my Engineering college at Pantnagar University,when Vishwa got out on zero in first inning,we all were cursing but in second inning
Vishwanath scored a brilliant century ,we all were thrilled and praising Vishwa.
I still remember this match in 1969.
It was my second year in Engineering College at Pantnagar University, everyone was cursing Vishwanath got out at Zero in first inning but scored137 runs in second inning,then all praised him for his historic knock,
I understand many of us including me are disappointed as only 4 out of 137 runs are captured. Remaining lost either due to cameraman’s carelessness or film editor’s stupidity. Let’s treat this like a visit to the archeological remains of a temple that means a ton to us.
I compiled this in reverence to our beloved Vishy
Jai sir so nice of you for sharing this video which is worth its weight in gold esp for me who was born in 1987 way after the end of an era.
Thankyou Sir for such nice replay videos...Test Cricket is real Cricket...👏👏👏
Thank you, sir. I was a school student and only option in those days was to listen to cricket commentary. Players like GRV are very rare. My respects to him
Well said sir
Even his scintillating 97 in the 1975 Madras test is not completely shot or must have been truncated by the editor. I love to see his 97 at Madras and 143 against Pakistan in 1978 at Faisalabad. Of course his 79 against England in 1977 (Bangalore) is equally precious.
OMG ... Just one stroke ... what square drive !!!! Thanks a lot sir

Seen this?

In cricket, a unique genius is called by many names.
Vishwanath, GRV, Wristy Vishy or just Vishy.
If you doubt, numbers don't show the amount of talent ,think GRV.
Whenever each and every batsman in the squad would scores lots of runs, which happened mostly on batting beauties Vishy wouldn't be interested to bat.Atleast I believed so. And when the conditions would suit bowling , bowlers on top and India, back to wall ,that was the tume to enjoy watching Vishy bat. Then only GRV would bat India out of trouble.With tail for company & without being beaten even once, forget getting a life or slice of luck.
Hindi commentators would call him sankatmochan.
On lively wickets GRV wouldn't need any time to settle or get the eye in.
Little bit of gardening would be followed with touching the top of pads, rim of the cap along with continuous tapping of bat between feet. What followed after those mannerisms was sheer C L A S S.
Spin or Pace, full or short, Yorker or bouncer, in Australia or England , nothing really mattered.
The only Guy to top averages without scoring a 100 and play a series defining role. In Tests. In Australia.
Vishy meant Cuts and drives through mid on, covers and straight behind the bowler or point & midwicket. Same Vishy was all about delicate glances, late cuts actually snatched from the gloves of keeper, and those very very wristy flicks bisecting the 2 fielders at leg trap. Wide reportoire of shots ,against any type of bowling, on any surface. Elegance and timing. If Gavaskar was grammar of batting then Wristy Vishy was its poetry and music.
Well , GRV always showed his true colours when India was down and out. He would then change the course of the match with company of tailenders.
That's what his numbers don't capture. But then who cares for stats ,having seen the Art of Batting live !
Sunil.R. Tambe
Excellent! You should also put this in a blog.
@@JaiGalagaliThanks fir the upload Jai ,and Kind of a replay in my mind.
Search for 2 sixes GRV hit
1) Of English LAS Chris Old . In test at brabourne
Demo on how to play the hook
2) Of WI legend Lance Gibbs. This time a sweep powered by wrists
We know GRV for delicate 4s. These 2 sixers show a.different side if his batting.
I didn't find these on you tube.
How aptly described Sunil - the typical mannerisms before he took strike to each ball, I wonder if Jai can bring to us any clip of Vishy walking out to bat, the rapturous crowd in the background welcoming him, very rarely did batsman of those times get this accolade from the public.
@@SunilRTambe Yes, was disappointed to find that Brabourne six missing in Jai's clip of that test vs England in 1973.
@@mahadevanrangarajan5031 Indeed the crowd welcomed GRV on every outing.Jai has done a wonderful job, more because not.much of Vishy's exploits are on you tube.
Besides those 2 sixers I hope you remember his knock at Eden garden.
The 6'7" Tony Greg would be at silly point and Dennis Ammis at short cover. All this first to curb his instinct to play that slap of a cut and then if possible to create a chance. Vishy off course would bisect the two. Repeatedly. Without even bothering to start for a run. Commentators would say , Greg can count the lace holes on his shoes , yet 4 the moment it left the bat.His confidence in not even bothering to run said it all.
Picture of Opponent Greg lifting Vishy was in my collection for a long time and will remain in my memory forever. Just like his little hop backwards to get right on the top of that short delivery to flick it through the onside. Style and elegance
Vishy was the most popular cricketer at the Eden Gardens. His 139 against Roberts and Company was one the Greatest Innings played by an Indian, till a certain V V S Laxman hammered that fabulous 281 against the mighty Audtralians
Jai, i was 8 years old when Vishy scored that brilliant ton on debut. It was the age of radio commentary. Since then i have not missed a single test match on radio. Those were the days
He's a king of cricket, my favorite
My favorite player, God bless you for sharing this. Thanks
A perfect gentle man cricketer, my favourite. Just performs never aspires for publicity, most un assuming.
Interesting point,Vishy scored 14 test centuries and India never lost any of these 14 tests
Same with Ganguly in test cricket, no match lost wither win or draw
But Vishwanath is not taken seriously by BCCI to honour him,no match in which Vishy has scored ' ton' India lose,,but Irony is that the many of the ' legend' 's tons made India lose & that 'legend' is elevated as no less than a 'god' .......
It only shows he batted when others could bat too.
Trick is to score century when no one else can cross 10.
Yes. You are correct
I still remember this test, when v used to go to d cafeteria during school recess time to find out the score over the radio. By that time GRV had attained quite a gud reputation in Ranji tournaments. He had also made good score in the match against New Zealand during PresidentXI match. So when he scored zero in d 1st innings v were crestfallen. In the second innings by the end of the day after our school hours v learned that he was still not out on 20. Next thing was history. Out of 137 he scored 100 by hitting fours. GRV was an Artist and a saviour of the team during crisis. India never lost a test when he scored a century.
thank you for your effort Mr.Jai for uploading this rare video,
Thank you very much sir, for uploading such a rare and important innings
It's a shame that the greatest Indian stroke maker Vishy has not been honored properly by both Bcci & GOI.
Jai Galagali:
What a voice.
Dr.Rajkumar's photo in the background appears super.
Anil kashyap
🙏🏽
I saw the square cut by the genius Gundappa Rangappa Viswanath
What an excellent innings on debut by Vishy. Great natural stroke player and excellent human being.
vividly I still remember Vishy was unbeaten in 75.on fourth day and scored his century in last day! Dev Raj Puri, Baby Sarvadhikari were AIR ado commentatots so beautiful
Vishwanath is my favourite cricketer. His batting skills are worth emaluating by youngsters. A gentleman to the core it is unfortunate that KSCA did not deem it fit to have a stand in his name at Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru.
I was following that match closely on Radio.During rest day after his duck in the first innings,Lala Amarnath met Vishu and told him,not to worry and he himself started with a duck.In the Indian second innings India we’re on the mat at five down for 95 like.In walked the dependable Eknath Solkar and with Vishu he put on a century partnership.Solkar produced a 25 out of the hundred.Vishy hammered 137 with 25 star studded fours.Mind you that Australians team had Graham Mackenzie,nick nammed as supersonic,Ashley Mallet,a very good off spinner,Gleason a very good leg spinner along with other fast bowlers.All were treated like club class by our ace,GRV.Their captain was Bill Lawrey,known for unsportsmanlike behaviour ran in to GRV and congratulated him.
Vishsji is the best player and evergreen. I recently saw him Print media news looks young and healthy. My prayers to him long and healthy life. The best stock maker 360 decrees all over ground. The chief minister of Karnataka must consider his name in stadium.
Gentle man cricketer king of late cut and and square cut technicale very good bastsman
Todays batsmen should be made to see Vihwanath batting clips 100 Times to know how to tackle and play outswinger, even todays top rankers throw their wickets.
Cameraman's coverage of the audience is better than the coverage of the match!
Poetic batsman GR Vishwanath
My icon of cricket. Every century he scored has been critical and India have either won or the match was saved. You will always be remembered for 97 not out against WI 1974 75 series. Salute this Gem of cricket. Today's generation doesn't know these greats.
Classic master my all time favorite bastmen gr viswanath
Please find videos of vishy's 149 against Pakistan its wonderful to watch scoring century against pace in Pakistan
Vishwanathan the great icon in the cricket history..
You sir are great presenter and a genius
Vishy was my childhood hero, favourite player & a gentleman cricketer,after that saw many cricketers,but still I admire this man.Alas he should have made more runs then he did in his career,around 6000 runs.His 97 n.o my favourite innings against mighty WI.
One of the greatest batsman. I was studying in p.u.c. at r.c. College of commerce hearing the commentary by bunking the class in a transistor along with my other friends.
I had a privilege to see dear Vishwanath in 1974 in one of the practice in Bombay
His batting was like a beautiful painting
Eknath Solker, India's best fielder, was on other end and give good support in this inning to GRV against Bill Lorry's Australian team in 1969!
First innings Banda putta Hoda putta.. haha.. but one of the greatest batsman ever..
1969 i was in my second-year master s degree at Trichi Jamal Mohamed college, even today i remember the day, how some of us students stood in front of the tea stall glued to the radio listening to the commentary we could not attend classes on that day as we were not willing to leave the tea stall even after G R s century The Best thing. was the next day our professors Mr Noor Mohamed and Mr Abdul Samad very sportively excused us.
Realy unforgettable test mach in my life. Vishwanath was out on no score in first inning but he score century in second inning.This was his first debute mach.
many thanks
The spine of Indian batting in those days , what a classy player , Karnataka da huli , Chandra , Prassana Kirmani , wow , but looks like , eevaga baroru , Kannada bartoh ilvoh , doubt , I hope I am wrong .
What a commentary! The caption came for Vishwanath and the video comes for the match without focus to the man for whom the video came, nor even that he returned with a duck in the first innings.
Fantastic...really greatest memories..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everything is politisied, he was a gentleman cricketers, no god fathers, his name will be in heart of fans, more than that what is required... 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Great kannadiga.very fine cricketer india has ever produced
I remember in taken his autograph in my childhood at indore he scored good runs playing from president eleven.

Grv sir 👌👌👌 ಸೂಪರ್ ಇನ್ನಿಗ್ಸ್
Vishwanath was one of the greatest cricketer of India.
Born to play square cut❤
Still eagerly awaiting for my request
Classic and great time 👍😀😎
Are there any video clips of Ramskant Desai? He was before my time. Did he bowl around the 135 kmph mark?
GR Viswanath is a great batsman.
The classiest player
Sir, please upload ind vs aus 1969 test all matches.
Ashok Mankad a fine player who unfortunately could not make it big unlike Sunny.Probably played too many strokes. Was given a long run though. Amber Roy and Guha the Bengal boys were never a given a long run sadly.
My cricket god
Agreeable even studied PUC as a clerk in a bank but by da fantastic game n without egos it over😃😄😀😍
GRV debut match. 1st inning Zero second nnings 137.That's not all , 137 had 25 bundaries.
It was a great innings from Gundappa Vishwanath .
Excellent ❤
Great batsmen at all times
I sad! because we are not see classical squar cut stroks of vishwanath.
thankyou
No need to put vishvanath's 137.Nothing of Visvanath 's innings is shown
Look at those crowds!
