Teams he has played for:
- India
- Delhi
Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He became an integral part of the Delhi squad in domestic cricket and played a major role in their rise during the late seventies and early eighties. He got his first chance to represent India when the selectors dropped Syed Kirmani and picked him for India's tour of England in 1979.
Surinder though had a poor tour. He made his debut against the West Indies in the first game of the 1979 World Cup. He had a miserable outing as he was out for a duck. India crashed out of the tournament as they failed to win even a single game, with Surinder's contribution just being 7 and 10 in India's two remaining games. He was dropped from the squad after he failed to impress during the first-class games as well.
An attacking batsman by instinct, Surinder's international career received new life when he was picked for the 1984 Asia Cup. His consecutive fifties in low-scoring games against Sri Lanka and Pakistan helped India win the title and he was adjudged the Man of the Series for his contribution.
Just when his career seemed to have taken off, his form took a hit. He had a horrible series against Australia when they toured India in 1984. In 4 innings, he scored 13, 4, 3 and 1* as India lost the series 3-0. Surinder was also part of the Indian squad that visited Pakistan just a few days after the Australia series got over. Despite top-scoring for India with 31 in the first ODI, he was left out of the team after India lost the game by 46 runs. He never played for India again.
He remained an important player for Delhi and had participated in 106 first-class matches by the end of his career. In 141 innings, he made 5337 runs at an average of 43.39, including 17 hundreds and 20 half-centuries.
Surinder Khanna now works as a cricket expert and commentator.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A century in each innings (111 and 128) in the Ranji Trophy final against Karnataka at Bangalore in 1978-79 brought Surinder Khanna into the limelight. That season, he scored 657 runs (73.00) to star in Delhi's maiden triumph in the national competition. A capable wicketkeeper and a dashing middle order batsman, Khanna was a tower of strength to Delhi for many years and played a leading role in their successes in the late 70s and early 80s. When the selectors decided to drop Syed Kirmani for the tour of England in 1979, Khanna was given the big break. He played without much success in all the three World Cup games and the Test place went to the other debutant Bharath Reddy. He did not enjoy a very good record in the first class games, scoring but 41 runs in six games (four innings).
With Kirmani and Reddy firmly entrenched as the two leading wicketkeepers in the country, Khanna's career seemed over. But he continued to do well around the domestic circuit and with his swashbuckling style suited to the one day game, his career received a fresh lease of life when he was included in the Indian team for the Rothmans Asia Cup at Sharjah in April 1984. He turned the trip into a personal triumph. He got half centuries in low scoring games against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. India won the trophy and Khanna emerged as the unexpected star by taking the man of the series award. He was a member of the Indian team that went to Pakistan in October the same year. He continued to play for Delhi with considerable success and by the time he retired, he had made 4330 runs (48.65) in the Ranji Trophy with a highest score of 220 not out against Himachal Pradesh in 1987-88.
