Hopefully the days of glory back! “With India under the British government in 1933, colonialism and racism were at its peak during the exam.

People could not go to Clubhouse to celebrate a hundred Lalaji, which is why gold coins and jewelry were thrown at him.
I believe that the value of what is handed over He was extraordinary for the moment.

If it comes here again, you will see more people coming.
And watch this match, “Shastri said.
Vengsarkar and Shastri have wonderful memories of playing in the gymkhana.
“I played here as a Bombay school captain.
There was a half-day game at that time.
I remember we played against Mak Pataudi, who then captain India.
‘Tiger’ Pataudi opened the innings.
He has a very open attitude.
We have a Pacer Called Shyam Sawant, which is used for a good outswingers bowl.
I ran towards him and said, “He has an open busty.
Try and take him fascinated on his feet.
“Shyam agrees.
Pataudi must think, ‘these children try to make fun of me.’ Shyam Bincul is exactly where I want him to bowl, right outside his feet.
Patuadi doesn’t move but just whipped the ball from behind him.
We don’t know where to look for! Then, I play a match between colleges here, and there is a crowd of 3,000 for That! This is a fantastic place, one of the best in town, “remember Vengsarkar.
