Text Box: A left-handed batsman with sparkling footwork and a spectacular cover-point and deep field, Gul Mahomed toured England in 1946 and Australia in 1947-48, and at home played against Pakistan in 1952-53, but his batting tended to be disappointing. In Ranji Trophy matches, however, he was a prolific run-getter. He made his career-highest of 319 for Baroda against Holkar in 1946-47 in the final of the Ranji Trophy, adding 577 with Vijay Hazare, which remains the world record for the fourth wicket. In Ranji Trophy matches he made 1,842 runs at 37.38 an outing, until he took Pakistan citizenship in 1955. He played for  Pakistan once, in the first match against Australia at Karachi in 1956-57, a low-scoring contest, in which he scored 12 and 27 not out, including the winning hit.
