The Mumbaikar, who scored more than 10,000 runs in red-ball cricket, brought curtains to his career with 45 half-centuries and 34 centuries against his name.While his exploits with the willow is the stuff of legends, he was shrewd fielder and a leader too.Not counting wicketkeepers, he was the first Indian fielder to have achieved a milestone of a century of catches in Test cricket.For the record, he took an incredible 108 catches in his Test career.Coming back to Jackie Shroff's work front, he will be seen in 'Jailer' starring Rajnikanth in the lead role, this movie also includes stars like Ramya Krishnan, Priyanka Arul Mohan and Shiva Rajkumar and Tamannaah Bhatia.
