Ranji Finals 1979 Delhi Karnataka - Happy Birthday the Spin Sardar Bedi!

[@vasudevarao24]

I can not thank you enough Mr. Galagali! You brought back great memories. I remember this match like it happened yesterday. Karnataka team composition was strange, they had a specialist batsman Siddarama batting at No 10!! This match happened just before Indian team for the tour of England 1979 was selected and Roger Binny (or even Mandan Lal) was expected to get in but Yajuvendra Singh was picked instead due to regional politics. India completed that tour with just 2 pace bowlers - Kapil and Ghavri (with Mohinder Amarnath providing support) and they found temselves one seam bowler short on that tour.

Surinder Khanna was a fine WK and a hard hitting batsman.. Surinder Amarnath was a stylish left hander.. They were the KILADI JODI of the match...kannada film of same name starring Vishnuvardhan and Srinath was a blockbuster hit of 1978...Great memories... Brijesh at his very peak as a stroke maker.. What wonderful times they were... Fun filled 70s...

Thank you for sharing and reminding the memorable match. If my memory is correct first time the match got extended to sixth day. I had the fortune of listening to this match commentary for 6 days

[@partha2327]

Thanks also for choosing the beautiful background music at the end,thanks once again.

[@JaiGalagali]

Glad you liked the background music too - it’s instrumental version I had professionally recorded of Jamaica Farewell, a tune suggested by BS Chardasekhar when I had asked him what music best suited the Subhash Gupte documentary.

I enjoy your videos, Thank you for compiling or restoring them. In this video, it is probably the only instance of Sunil Valson bowling video on youtube. Sunil Valson, 83 world cup winner, but have never seen a video of him bowling.

[@suniltambe861]

Thanks Jay for the memories. Surinder Amarnath , was an elegant left hand bat.

[@kadambisridhar9365]

Nice to see Sunil Valson in full flow. Smooth run-up & lovely fluid bowling action!!

[@satisha274]

Strange! Not a single mention of Vishwanath, Chandra, Prasanna in a match of Karnataka !!

[@gmeharbaba]

[@tus1971]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH , Its reallly treat to every cricket lovers. Great to see Shri Lala Amarnath @ 2.18.

[@rajpanchal9733]

Wow.. great memory share by you Mr. Jay. Thanks. Those were days of Mumbai dominance in Domestic cricket. First time Delhi won and then Mumbai dominance reduced. Venkat sundram, Sudhakar rao, Surinder khanna were domestic heroes ...

[@vivekdatar]

At 2.15 mark, you see a glimpse of Lala Amarnath

[@amitgokhale6578]

Hats off to you Sir

[@rammohanbalagopal1180]

I remember seeing this match as a 15 year old.

[@bmmr]

Roger Binny was a good batsman as well

[@ManishKumar-vq2th]

the level of cricket and audience in Ranji at that time seems to be quite high

[@anandabhat2331]

Please upload sir between Karnataka and Hyderabad ranaji semifinal match of 1998.. Karnataka won by only one wicket..

[@Balboa_Rocky]

Mr Jairaj you’re saying cricket was once a gentleman’s game. Is it a crooke’s game now?

[@vivekpatil8331]

Sir ..do you have recordings of famous ranji trophy final between Mimbai and Haryana in 1989...

[@fplnikhil]

*1991

[@vivekpatil8331]

Yes..1991

[@rachakondavenkatadurgaprasad5]

Sir hyderabad ranji trophy

[@nipponjain5899]

Most of the players from Delhi were successful at National level only, barring Bishan Bedi and Mohinder Amarnath none of Delhi players had major success at International level
