Wisden Cricketers' Almanack reported that "the calm and compact Vikram Atri caught the eye, before he trudged off dejectedly, two shy of a century in his maiden first-class knock". Atri's innings was characterised as "patient" and "dogged" in another report, which noted, however, nine "graceful" boundaries on the first day alone, when rain curtailed play. In the event, Atri played only two further first-class matches for Nottinghamshire, both of them in the 2003 County Championship against Middlesex and Kent.
