Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
The next season, he also made his mark as a bowler by a picking up a five-for. By 1955-56, he started to play for Baroda. It was the four-wicket haul that he picked up for Baroda against a mighty fine Windies side in a tour game in 1958-59 that finally earned him the chance to play for India.
He didn't exactly start his Test career on a bright note and was even dropped for the third Test against West Indies in Kolkata. He made a welcome return to the side with a hard fought innings of 56 against the likes of Gilchrist and Hall in the next Test in Madras. It was the turning point of his career as he followed it up with a century in the final Test of that series in Delhi. To put the icing on the cake, he composed a brilliant knock of 96 in the second innings as well.
Borde then was in prime form during the series against England in 1961-62. He cracked 314 runs at an average of 44.85 and picked up 16 wickets at 28.75. He wasn't at his best during the home series against West Indies, but came back to form when England again arrived on the shores of India in 1963-64. He even picked up his first and only five-wicket haul during that series.
In the second Test of the 1964-65 series against Australia in Mumbai then, Borde held his nerve by chipping in with a crucial 30 not out to take India to a nerve-wracking win by two wickets. Remember, he was batting at No. 9 in that game. Borde continued to deliver the goods for India by putting up consistent performances against New Zealand in 1965.
In 1966-67, he showed courage and fortitude to stand up to West indies' famed bowling line-up. He scored 345 runs and essayed a couple of centuries. In the third Test in Chennai, when he made a century, a bumper from the fiery Griffith just brushed his hair and he was on 96 then. It was said to be a vicious bouncer and Borde was lucky that he wasn't hurt.
Unfortunately, barring the series against New Zealand in in 1967-68, Borde soon lost his way and played his final match against Australia in Mumbai in 1969-70. Borde continued his association with Indian cricket. He was appointed as the chairman of the selection committee twice. He was the manager of the Indian team when Sachin Tendulkar made his Test debut in Pakistan in 1989. He also served as the manager of the Indian unit that won a Test series in England in 2007.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
He started out in the late fifties as India's most promising young batsman. In the early sixties, he was one of the country's leading allrounders. And from the mid to the late sixties, he was the bulwark of the Indian batting. So for just over a decade, Borde was very much in the thick of it all. The fact that he was the only Indian in the Rest of the World team that played Barbados in a commemoration match in 1967 speaks of the high regard that the cricketing world had for Borde's ubiquitous skills. As a batsman, he was capable of every stroke in the book. He modelled his batting after Vijay Hazare, but was a shade more adventurous. He was also a more than able legspinner, capable of winning matches for India, till a shoulder injury in 1964 curbed his bowling. As a fielder, Borde was one of the very best, initially excelling in the outfield and later doing fine work in close in positions.
Borde's career had a storybook start when in his first Test series he scored 109 and 96 against the all conquering West Indian side in 1958-59. For the next few years, he displayed his allround skills in abundant measure. With Salim Durrani, he played a leading role in India winning the rubber against England in 1961-62. One of the best players of fast bowling, Borde made runs consistently and handsomely against McKenzie, Hall and Griffith. He probably reached his peak when he got two centuries in three Tests against West Indies in 1966-67. He failed on the tour of England that followed and had mixed luck on the Australasia trip in 1967-68. By the end of the decade, his reflexes had considerably slowed down and with the selectors plumping for youth, Borde was one of the first casualties. Happily however he has stayed with the game as manager of touring teams, where his considerable expertise has proved invaluable and as chairman of the selection committee.
