ML Jaisimha

Cricketer, India Test Cap 91

Born: 3rd March 1939, Secunderabad

Died: 6th July 1999, Secunderabad

23-25 Oct 1965 - the Duleep Trophy match between South Zone and North Zone was held in Bangalore.

My mother, Rukmani (Nair) Manay, went along with her friends to West End Hotel where the cricketers were staying. There they managed to meet quite a few of them, and my mom got their autographs on a West End Hotel memo paper. Note the four-digit telephone number!

MLJ was the captain of the South Zone team.

Many years later, probably in the 1980s, my brother got this.
