Former Indian cricketer, Salim Aziz Durani passed away at the age of 88 years in Jamnagar, Gujarat on the morning of April 2. He was suffering from illness from a brief period of time. He was an all-rounder and had a unique ability to finish off the game either with the bat or with the ball. Former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri expressed his grief in a tweet, “Easily one of the most colourful cricketers of India - Salim Durani. Rest in Peace. Om Shaanti.” In the era of 1960-1973, Durani marked his presence with his pure ability to send the ball flying into the stands. Durani was a part of India's successful victory against England in 1961-62 where he picked up eight wickets against English team.
