Wasim Jaffer

Indian Test opener; most prolific Ranji Trophy batter in history.

Wasim Jaffer is a former Indian cricketer and the most prolific batter in Ranji Trophy history, with over 12,000 first-class runs for Mumbai and Vidarbha. He played 31 Test matches for India, featuring in the mid-2000s alongside Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag, and scored two Test double centuries.

At the first-class level he won 10 Ranji titles across his career - including championships with both Mumbai and Vidarbha as captain - and remains one of the most respected technicians of his generation. Since retirement he has been a batting coach and a much-followed cricket commentator whose social-media cricket humour has found a large following online.

His stage work draws on first-class longevity, mentoring, and the discipline of red-ball cricket in a shortened-format era.
