Professor DEVDHAR Was Borned On 14th January 1892.He worked his whole life to Give identity to Indian cricket in International arena!He was Explosive Batsman of his time.He was the first batsman to scored 100 against any foregin team.He did this when he scored 146 against england in 1926,Actually that time it was not known as Team england but known as M.C.C. Everone expected him to be appointed as an indian captain when India did play their 1st test match.But Unfortunetly he was not selected even in playing 11 when India declared squad for their 1st test match. Reason was given to him that he was so old that time(40 years old).
Despite the fact that he was playing wonderfull at that time!After not getting the chance in test squad he continued playing Cricket for ‘MAHARASTRA’,and won two times RANJIT TROPHY as a captain.When he said good bye to cricket,he was 54 years old,He scored Half-century in both ininngs of his last test match.He was so special because he never played for Money,It was his love towards the game.
When he was 80 Years old MAHARASTRA CRICKET ASSOCIATION gave him 80 thousend rupees as honour But he added more 20,000 rupees in that and gifted back to MAHARASTRA CRICKET ASSOCIATION for Devlopment of Domestic cricket!Most Poor Part of that was his last words where he said he was so sorry for such a small amount of help but he could not able to earn more.
But as usual In 1973 Indian cricket Board realized his contribution towards game and they announced 1st Ever ODI in india between SOUTH ZONE and WEST ZONE named as DEVDHAR TROPHY!It was on 21 november 1973.
He died on 24th august 1993 when he was 101 years old.At that time he was the longest lived Cricketer..
So that was the nobel,Honest and game loving PROFESSOR DINKAR BALVANT DEVDHAR…May god praise his soul! Ameen…….
Whatever you say lack of media activity,lack of popularity,he didn’t get enough that he deserved..
I know I get more readers if I would have wrote about MS DHONI or 20-20…But you can’t forget to give these peoples their earned Respect..I am not writing about him because he did lot for indian cricket…He never did that to only indian cricket..He did for great game of cricket..Today we have money,20-20,Ms dhoni all because these peoples all around the world made cricket a great game…
I know its easy to describe sachin tendulkar because he always there when india need him…But he still earn 24 lakhs from MRF only for Sticker on his bat…But these peoples were there when CRICKET need them!!
And when A great cricketer Earned only 20,000Rs(500 US DOLLARS) from 30 years of cricket career!!!!
