Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Razdan, who honed his skills at the MRF Pace Foundation, was selected to represent India in Pakistan only on the basis of two first-class matches. He made his debut against Pakistan at Faisalabad. Questions were asked about his selection after he remained wicketless in the only innings India had a bowl. Following this poor performance, he was dropped from the third Test. However, he made a brilliant comeback in the last Test of the series, utilizing the assistance available from the pitch. He ended up picking 5/79 to give India a 74-run lead, but this 5-wicket haul also marked the last we saw of Razdan in Tests. Even though he was a part of the squad that next went to New Zealand, he didn't get to play any more Tests.
His performance in the ODIs was not that great either. In the 3 ODIs (2 against Pak and 1 against SL) he played, he could only manage a single wicket. Since he was training at the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai, he represented Tamil Nadu during the 1990-91 Ranji season.
He returned to Delhi (his birthplace) in the subsequent Ranji season (1991-92) and played a major role in their title win. He smashed two hundreds for Delhi on their way to the final. In the final, he played a crucial knock of 93 against his former team, Tamil Nadu, which paved the way for Delhi's triumph. He was very effective with the ball as well, taking 23 wickets that season.
Two seasons later, he decided to give up first-class cricket following some below par performances. Since then, he has been doing television commentary.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
In an extremely brief Test career, Vivek Razdan bowled in just two innings for India on the 1989 tour of Pakistan, taking five wickets in the second of them in a fairytale beginning but he faded away just as swiftly as he had risen into the limelight. Having cut his teeth at the MRF Pace Foundation, Razdan, then 20, was selected for the trip to Pakistan on the basis of just two first class appearances, one each in the Duleep and Irani Trophies. After making his Test debut in virtual anonymity in the second Test at Faislabad, Razdan came roaring back, using some disconcerting movement off the wicket to claim 5-79 in the final Test at Sialkot and help India to a 74-run first innings lead.
Sadly, that was to be the extent of Razdan's Test opportunities and although going on the subsequent trip to New Zealand, he was not played in the Tests and took just one first class wicket on the entire tour. His third and last ODI against Sri Lanka was at home in the 90-91 season during which, based in Madras as an MRF trainee, he represented Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy. Razdan was a key member of the Delhi squad that lifted the Ranji Trophy in 1991-92, making two hundreds, against Services off only 96 balls, and in the quarterfinal against Bengal, besides a crucial 93 in the final against his former team, Tamil Nadu. Apart from his exploits with the bat, he also grabbed 23 wickets at 25.82. But he soon slipped backstage and into anonymity, with his first-class career coming to a full stop two seasons later. He has since taken up television commentary. (Sankhya Krishnan)
