Rising from the scratch by virtue of sheer hardwork, he made to the indian team. Though he was an all rounder, he was known for his fielding skills. Unfortunately, those days the quality of telecast was of spurious quality and thus we miss the actual action in a plausible slow motion. He was an expert at forward short leg and took some unbelievable catches, which paved way for India's wins. Those days the remuneration was a pittance and the players of that era earned very little, but they played for sake of love and passion of the game.
Eknath Solker was one of the most courageous fielders, while fielding at silly point and forward short leg he at times stood so close to the batsmen that he dived with his hand reaching on to the pitch to take catches. He was a brilliant allrounder of his time, a real asset to the team.
Yes I remember that while hearing commentary of a match we used to hear that Solkar was hit hard on the back at forward short leg. But within few minutes, he would just have a glass of water & will be ready to stand at the same position. Nowadays we talk of Johnty Rhodes, Mohd Azharuddin celebrities in Fielding. But we should also talk about brilliant fielders of yester years
"Half chances kon pakadta hai ? Suicidal position hai bhai !" BBs these 2 statements have explained how gr8 & gutsy "Ekky" was ..take a bow "Solkar Sir"🙌
This video is too short and does not show the brilliant catches solkar had taken ..we expect a video of longer duration to do justice to one of the best all rounders of all time..he was fearless and a superb fielder
Yes he was a person on whom one can make a full movie. You made 2.56 min clip. Very shameful. He was a person with energy and spirit. I have spent hrs sitting and talking of his exploits on field. He was greatest close in fielder to garner whites and take impossible catches. Hope all his catches are put together in one video. Salute Ekki
Was it just 1 minute to show his exploits? shame on the channel and program director about one of the 2 best fielders of india from the older generation, eknath solkar was one and the other half was Syed Abid Ali and we would like to see about abid ali too. even In the 3 minute video nothing much was shared.
Problem is in those days , matches were not telecast. Only v had 2 know these great cricketers exploits through print media, and radio comentary. That's d only explanation.
Making useless videos like this is a "clear insult," to that greatest fielder till date, even more than jhonty Rhodes!!!!!!!!!!!? Solkar was incredible fielder ,I suppose he was born to be fielder !?!?!?!?!? even jhonty Rhodes is not a match for him ,,,,as Rhodes fielded in mid- off or square- leg far from batsman ,that makes enough room to study track of the ball!!!!!!!!!!!but Solkar is the specialist of forward short- leg!!!!!!!!! Solkar had 1/110th of second to react after hitting the bat!!!!!!!!!!!!!! still Solkar was successful!!!!!!!!!! Rhodes fans must admit this fact .....
Please understand standing at forward SHORTLEG now the position is shifted squarer and is called SHORTLEG. Also understand that was a suicidal position unlike back ward point or silly point that too without a Helmet. Will you stand up guys today at that position even while the batsman is playing with a rubber or tennis ball. Let's see your guts.

I love and respect Eknath Dondu Solker

According to you those who field in distant places are useless fielders
Ok Rhodes is also famous for long dives and quick movements you clearly seem to be a bhakt .

Very bad video, why have you desired to make a video on him when you did not have material on him, really an insult
