Wild guesses
1. Century in both innings in Aussie soil - in the first match they played in Oz
2. All of them "Mankaded" some non-striker in their career. Mankad gave his name to such dismissals

:exactly:

They are the only players to have batted in all 11 positions. Ravi Shastri has batted in all positions except No. 11, so just miss for him.

Debut centurions for India. Saw them in the list when Raina joined the club. But I am not sure if there is another connection like they are left handers or something. Che marupadi 50 mark-dhaan varum pola :oops:

No trick question PB. adhAn answer.
I deliberately avoided the other names to make it a little difficult. Initially added Amre and Surinder Amarnath but removed later.

AA Kripal Singh's son Arjan has a triple century in Ranji, I think. Bonus trivia.

Ok, one more Ranji questio. Like Goel, Shivalkar, on the batting side there were quite a few biggies in domestic scene who died down their career without ever playing for India. Some of them were desparately unlucky. Name this 80's stalwart who scored mountains of runs in Ranji and forced his way into the Indian ODI side - only for the match to be rained of in Srinagar I think - and he never got another chance.

Amarjeet Kaypee? Avar than ekachakka run adichuaru..
