Dhruv Pandove

[13] In December 1991, playing for Punjab in a 1991–92 Ranji Trophy match against Services, Pandove made his highest first-class score of 170.

He passed the 1000-run mark in Ranji Trophy during the innings[14] and became the youngest player to do so, at the age of 17 years and 341 days.

[16] On 28 January 1992, Pandove top-scored for North Zone with 73, his highest List A score, against a South Zone bowling attack consisting of Anil Kumble, Venkatesh Prasad, Aashish Kapoor and Arshad Ayub, in the Deodhar Trophy quarterfinal at Sambalpur.

[17] At the conclusion of the Deodhar Trophy quarterfinal, Pandove was travelling from Sambalpur to his hometown Patiala.

[18] Pandove's death was mentioned by BBC and the Australian commentators of the Australia-India Test match that was happening at Perth.

According to the Tribune, the main goals of the trust were "to promote the game, nurture young talent and also organise blood donation camps to commemorate the death of Dhruv."

He added, "I think my association with Dhruv in my earlier cricketing days has a lot of bearing on my eventual success in the International arena.
