Yeah, even he mentions that knock of 60-odd as the best innings of his career.
And also this was his best effort in batting in ODIs
4th ODI: India v West Indies at Ahmedabad, Nov 15, 2002 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
Yep. When Yuvi got out, and then even Kaif, we thought that the firepower was gone, and no one was left who can save the match, since RD we all knew cud not up the ante as much. But this guy came in as a surprise.....especially when he had the reputation of the England Test match innings - a bowler torturing innings!

Old article regarding the struggles to be a Railways player
Wisden - The amazing story of the runaway train
For a 17-year-old boy from Orissa, 1994 was a very tough year. His daily routine involved waking before sunrise and travelling 15 kilometres by bus from Cuttack to work on the railway at the small town of Kandarpur. Hardly any trains stop in this forgotten corner of eastern India, but someone still had to walk six kilometres along the line, oil the tracks, check for faults and climb dangerous heights to check the wiring.
The boy would return home limp and sapped. But nothing could stop him from spending the rest of the day trying to master the routine he loved best - picking up a cricket ball, hopping in from an angular run-up and ripping off-breaks. These were Kulamani Parida's struggles as a Class IV employee in his first two years of working for the Indian Railways.
