Surendranath (cricketer)

Surendra Nath pronunciationⓘ (4 January 1937 – 5 May 2012)[1] was an Indian cricketer who played in eleven Test matches between 1958 and 1961.

[3] He came to national prominence in 1958–59 when, playing for Services, he dismissed the first three West Indian batsmen in a tour match.

This time he took no wickets in another big West Indian victory, and he lost his place for the Fifth Test.

[6] "For one not too well endowed physically he stood up well to many long spells of bowling," noted Wisden, but he "spent hours bowling down the leg side" to a packed leg-side field; "this happy cricketer would help the game if he developed his attack on the off-stump instead of outside the leg-stump".

He played irregularly thereafter, but in five Ranji Trophy matches in 1967–68 he took 25 wickets at 13.44,[12] helping Services reach the semi-finals.
