Subhashchandra Pandharinath "Fergie" Gupte (Marathi: सुभाष गुप्ते) (pronunciationⓘ; 11 December 1929 – 31 May 2002) was one of Test cricket's finest spin bowlers. Sir Garry Sobers, EAS Prasanna and Jim Laker pronounced him the best leg spinner they had seen.[1][2]
Gupte flighted and spun the ball sharply, and possessed two different googlies. The West Indians who toured India in 1958/9 reckoned that Gupte could turn the ball on glass. His only drawback perhaps was that he tended to lose confidence when the batsmen attacked his bowling. In the domestic arena, Gupte played for Bengal, Bombay and Rajasthan in India and for Rishton, Heywood and Lancaster in the UK.[3] He received the C. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000, the highest honour bestowed by BCCI on a former player.[4]
