Former international umpire V. Vikram Raju, who officiated in the historic tied Test between India and Australia at Chennai in 1986, died here on Sunday.

He was 92. Raju umpired two Tests and five ODIs, besides standing in 42 first-class matches. But none of them remained in memory more than the tied Test between India and Australia played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium between September 18 and 22 roughly 40 years back. It was the only second tied Test in the history of cricket then, and the first instance was the match between Australia and the West Indies in Brisbane in 1960.
