Rakesh Chandra Shukla pronunciation (born February 4, 1948, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh) is a former Indian cricketer who played in one Test in 1982. He was leg-break-googly-bowler and a decent hard-hitting batsman also. Those days all-rounders were not given the recognition unlike later years. With spin quatret of Bishan Singh Bedi, B. S. Chandrashekhar, S.Venkatraghvan and Erapalli Prassana he couldn't break into Indian team. In his later years youngsters like Maninder Singh and Ravi Shastri were preferred. He would have made a better cricket if One-day Cricket was common like later years.
