Bhausaheb Nimbalkar Trophy (Boys U-18) |
|||
|
Dedicated in the memory of Late Bhausaheb Nimbalkar. He was an integral part of the Holkar team. In his first-class career of 80 matches, he scored 4841 runs and captured 58 wickets as a fast bowler. His name is inked in the history of Indian first-class cricket for his unbeaten knock of 443 runs (playing for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in a Ranji Trophy match at Pune in 1948-49). He was very close to go beyond the then record of Don Bradman (452). Incongruously, the captain of Kathiawar conceded the match at this stage and the erstwhile record could not be surpassed. Yet, the record for highest score in first-class cricket by an Indian contines to be in his name even in 2019 i.e. almost 70 years after his majestic knock. He also happens to be one of the 6 batsmen who created a world record while playing for Holkar team against Mysore (Yeshwant Club from 2 – 5 March 1946) when each scored a century in same innings. He scored 142 for the team before the innings was declared at 912/8. |
