Bedi was recognized for his unique and colorful patka, a headgear that set him apart on the cricket field.

He holds the world record for the most economical bowling figures in a 60-over ODI match, with a remarkable performance of 12-8-6-1 during the 1975 World Cup.

Bedi made a rare decision to forfeit an international cricket match in protest against Sarfraz Nawaz's bowling tactics during a One Day International against Pakistan in 1978.

He had a remarkably economical bowling style, as reflected in his maiden overs per Test, which ranked second only to Lance Gibbs.

Bedi concluded his first-class career with 1,560 wickets, a record among Indian cricketers.

Bedi achieved a half-century in Test cricket, with his highest score being an unbeaten 50 against New Zealand.
