Dicky Rutnagur

Dicky Jamshed Sohrab Rutnagur (26 February 1931 – 20 June 2013) was an Indian sports journalist.

He then began covering cricket matches as a freelance, writing for The Bharat, a local sports paper, and then for daily newspapers.

Encouraged to move to England by Ron Roberts, he joined The Daily Telegraph, for whom he covered county cricket from 1966 to 2005.

According to his Wisden obituary, "a press box with Dicky in it was always full of cigarette smoke, chat and mischief, with whisky afterwards".

He was the only person to witness both of two cricketing feats: when Garry Sobers hit six sixes in an over from Malcolm Nash in a County Championship match in Swansea in 1968 and, more than 16 years later, when Ravi Shastri did likewise, off Baroda slow left-armer Tilak Raj in a Ranji Trophy game in Bombay.
