1961 England India- Bombay: Budhi Kunderan, Chandu Borde, Durani, Contractor.

This is a non-profit channel dedicated to discovering and preserving of video artifacts of India’s cricket history. Most of the content was filmed by the Government of India for promotion, publicity, and distribution with the intent of bringing to public awareness India’s emerging social, political and cultural landscape. These film clips hitherto unavailable and at imminent risk of being lost are retrieved and presented here with the express goal of preserving and telling the history of Indian cricket to future generations.
I am hosting them on my channel as a labour of love for the gentleman’s game that cricket was once.

Ramakant Desai .... It's very rare to see his bowling. He was one of the fastest bowlers India had.

Great to see footage of Ramakant Desai bowling. First fast bowler of independent India. Tiny man packed the punch. Sadly he was mismanaged alot so he retired at just 28.

[@rammohangodthi]

Superb superb

[@buttegowda]

Amazing footage. Ranjane, rb desai look so good. Cartwheeling wicket of RBD is the heiglight. Handsome MLJ looks like a film actor

[@parthasur6018]

At that time all the college girls wanted to marry MLJ!

[@gmeharbaba]

@@parthasur6018 ML Jaisimha was my all time favourite cricketer....for me seeing Jaisimha in the field...batting, bowling or simply walking was a thrilling experience....a natural cricketer who should have captained India

[@debtanugupta5274]

Ramakant Desai 🙏🙏great bowler

[@Goodwill345]

At 4:25 we see Ramakant Desai on the scoreboard, I wonder what he played, batsman, bowler?

[@balakrishnanravishankar8154]

Is it possible to see the debut century of Hanumant Singh ?

[@prathameshpawar45]

6:19 The bowled was 💀

[@harendrayegr]

But was cricket very tough in those times?

[@Goodwill345]

For the second innings Durrani should have been sent in to bat at 1 down, of course those days were diffrent
