Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
However, it has to be said that Wassan carved out a niche for himself in the domestic arena. Wassan's breakthrough season was in 1989-90 when he helped Delhi to win the Irani Trophy by scalping five wickets in a match against Rest of India. He followed it up with several top-notch performances, which included the memorable 10-for he took against Jammu and Kashmir in Delhi. During that season, he also finished with a 10-for versus Services in Palam.
Those noteworthy performances helped him to gain a place in the Indian squad for the tour of New Zealand. He made his Test debut in the first game of the series in Christchurch. In the third Test of that series, in helpful conditions for seamers, Manoj Prabhakar and Wassan had dented New Zealand's batting line-up, and reduced them to 131 for 7. Wassan even took the vital scalp of Martin Crowe. Smith, though, had other ideas.
In the Rothmans Cup, Wassan earned his maiden ODI cap and immediately made an impression in his first game by scalping three wickets against New Zealand in Dunedin. The highlight of that spell was the the delivery that nipped back from a good length to trap Andrew Jones in front. Wassan also played in the series against England in their own backyard. He played in one Test at The Oval and sadly that turned out to be the last time he played for India in the longest format.
Wassan also bagged 290 wickets in first-class matches and compiled two hundreds. Wassan's ability with the willow in hand can be encapsulated by his career-best 110 in the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal versus Bengal in 1991-92. He stitched an alliance of 130 with Vivek Razdan and followed it up with a 61-run association for the last wicket with Vemulapally Arvind. After retiring from the game in 1997-98, Wassan became a commentator.
Interesting fact: Wassan studied at the Guru Harkrishan Public School in Vasant Vihar.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Atul Wassan was a sturdy and hardworking medium pacer who did a decent job under the circumstances on two tours for India in 1990. Indeed he got the most wickets for India (seven) in the series in New Zealand, where he played all three Tests. Although he came under the hammer from Ian Smith in the third Test at Auckland, going for 24 in one over, he finished with his career best figures of 4 for 108. His Test and tour averages were also the best among all the seamers, Kapil and Prabhakar included, on both the tours of New Zealand and England. The averages themselves were not very flattering though as the Indian bowlers took some
fearful stick from Graham Gooch and company in England. With a bag of 6 for 89 against Glamorgan, Wassan pressed his way into the XI for the third Test at The Oval after which he was surprisingly cast aside. Wassan's last appearance in national colours was at the Asia Cup in 1990-91 when he was part of the victorious XI that beat Sri Lanka in the final at Eden Gardens. All his four Tests were abroad and his Test career ended at the age of 22. He had a fairly successful Ranji career, picking up 213 wickets at 23.78 and was no slouch with the bat either, with a century against Bengal in the 91-92 Ranji quarters to his name.
