About who was this said by an eminent co-player ?

"...But he was not a kind man. He did not think twice about making anyone look foolish. He had a sharp tongue and his language was not quite what youngsters should be exposed to. On more than one occasion, when I told him to be less abusive, he would get angry and say that some of the players should not be selected. But then he was indispensable. If you talk of superstars today, he was undoubtedly the superstar of our times."

Q1 : Did he play his last test pre-world war two ?.....NO
Q2 : Fast bowler ?.....NO
Q3 : Pakistani ?.....NO
Q4&5 : Its Bishen Singh Bedi isn't it ?.....NO
Q6 : Was he predominantly a batsman (ie, not someone who can be called an allrounder) ?....NO
Q7 : Wicketkeeper ?....NO
Q8 & 9 : My last guess is Syed Mushtaq Ali....NO

HINT : He would be a strong contender for an all time XI of his country and a world XI of his time.

Q10 Was he a spinner ? (Since we already know he was from the subcontinent and not a pakistani)

What we know now is that he is a post war cricketer, almost certainly Indian, either an allrounder or a slow bowler (or both).

Is he generally considered an allrounder ?

In 2001 (or so), Gavaskar picked up a world XI which was published in rediff.com. Who did he pick as his No. 12 ?

[This question is a little senstive to queries which are not precise.]

(1) Was this player predominantly a batsman ? Yes

(2) Was he an all rounder ? Supposed to be :)

SJS, the answer is a tricky one. So till you hit the right track, the responses might be a little vague. Or shall I give a hint straightaway ?
