AHMEDABAD/MUMBAI: Jaypalsinh Jadeja, who was among the few people who took care of Salim Durani during his last days in Jamnagar, recalled the batting exploits of the left-hander on Sunday.
“In 1971, the Ranji centenary match was organized in Jamnagar. Australian cricketers Ross Edwards and Bob Massie too had come. The team included the legendary Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Abid Ali, M L Jaisimha, Eknath Solkar and Sunil Gavaskar. But the spectators had come to see Salim Durani bat, and the left-hander didn’t disappoint. His knock of 75 included sixes hit which went out of the ground,” Jadeja said.
