Line 126: Amongst Agarkar's better performances were his performances in Australia in the Test series of 1999, and also in the test series in 2003. At [[Adelaide Oval]] in 2003, Agarkar took 6/41, to help India to win their first test in Australia in over 20 years. Agarkar has performed better in ODI cricket, where he takes wickets regularly, although his economy rate is high. He has also had a number of good batting performances. He was the best Indian bowler in the one-day series during India's tour of West Indies in 2006. As a batsman, Agarkar is one of the few players who scored a Test century at Lords against England during India's tour to England in 2002 when he scored 109 not out. Although India lost the test, his batting skills were quite noticeable. He also holds the record of the fastest fifty in ODI's for India when he scored 67 not out in 25 balls at Rajkot against Zimbabwe in 2000.<ref>[http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/284095.html Fastest fifties] at [[Cricinfo]]</ref> However, his batting exploits have been frequently overshadowed by seven consecutive instances of no scoring against Australia, five in Australia and two at home.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.alloutcricket.com/blogs/sundries/you-can-quote-me-on-that-ajit-agarkar \|title=Archived copy \|accessdate=2013-12-11 \|deadurl=yes \|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131215121632/http://www.alloutcricket.com/blogs/sundries/you-can-quote-me-on-that-ajit-agarkar \|archivedate=15 December 2013 \|df=dmy-all }}</ref> His first four dismissal also happened to have been on the first ball he faced. He is currently the 3rd highest wicket taker (288) for India in ODI's after [[Javagal Srinath]] (315) and [[Anil Kumble]] (337).
