Which Indian first-class cricketer ‘unfortunately’ had to attend his own marriage ceremony?
927965
The name that you are looking for is BB Nimbalkar. There is a popular story that he had to terminate his innings for Maharashtra v Kathiawar at Poona in 1948-49 at 443* (the world record first class score at the time was Don Bradman's 452*) because he had to attend his own marriage that evening (for the context, see the Cricinfo link below). \n\nHowever, the story is not true. There is no evidence to suggest that the reason for abandonment was anything other than the opposing captain's injured pride.  Nimbalkar himself had denied the marriage story in an interview in rediff.com some five or six years back (it would be difficult to dig it up now).\n\nA recent Cricinfo article contains a very good description of the Nimbalkar innings (but not the marriage story) :\n\nhttp://content-ind.cricinfo.com/columns/content/current/story/266828.html

Male celebrity: Sachin Tendulkar. He is a remarkable cricketer but keeps is head on his shoulders, a difficult thing to do considering he is the most famous cricketer today. The media may try to probe him on his team and other teams but he never comments. He personal life is so private that people hardly get to comment on it. He knows that he is out there to play so that is all anyone should know about. \nAdmirable qualities. He has the strongest character I have ever seen in any celebrity. Never compromises on his principles, remains unscathed during the worst controversies surrounding cricket, never criticizes others... simply amazing.\n\nPS: I can understand if nobody here recognizes him as cricket is not popular in US. So please, no unkind comments. I really like him as a person, famous or not famous.

Two decades after laying waste the reputations of some fine bowlers, the reality of growing up came to Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar in the form of a condition now famous as Tennis Elbow. The injury cast him out of cricket for so long that when he finally picks up the bat for the Challenger series in a few days, it will be remembered as a resurrection. \nhe used to be called McEnroe by his middle-class cricketing friends as a tribute to his strange hairstyle.Player politics has never concerned him. Every single passing moment during his break, all he has been thinking of is getting back into the centre of that uproarious stadium where sportsmen and fans unite without ever meeting their eyes. To achieve this end, he has been following a strict fitness regimen. The 6-am wakeup is now an 8-o'clock rising. A quick glance at the papers, bath and breakfast and the champion is in company of his physical trainer at a gym in a five-star hotel by 10. Two and half hours of workout, and he is back home for a shower. Lunch at 1.30, a little rest, play with kids or other engagements would follow. \n\nDinner is almost always a private affair at home or out in the company of family or very close friends. A clear seafood lover, his favourite accompaniment is a good red wine. He has been busy flicking television channels too. Apart from the usual cricket and Formula-One action, he's hooked on to an American serial. \n\n\n\n"I enjoy watching television and of late I've been watching the serial '24' starring Keifer Sutherland and Sarah Clarke with a lot of interest," he says, sporting an impish smile. But Tendulkar is not domesticated yet. His family knows that he stays at home with a nagging wish to do something better outside. \n\n"Actually, nobody wants me to sit at home. They all know that I don't like it. In fact my mother, my wife, my brothers and sisters have all been praying for me to recover as quickly as possible and be back on the cricket field," he says and that's exactly what is going to happen in less than a fortnight. \n\nHe appears to have a clear view of his future, a long future in his opinion. He believes that self-improvement is not an unending process. It has a natural upper limit. \n\nBut the "thinking" can change, he says, and it is this thought that defines a sportsman after he reaches the pinnacle of his abilities. "Once a cup of tea is full you cannot fill in anymore tea," he says, referring to the nature of talent. "But you can definitely change the temperature." THIS HIS HOW S.R.T HIS

Only two cricketers are known to have died as a result of on-field injuries in a first-class fixture. Both were hit while batting: George Summers of Nottinghamshire on the head at Lord's in 1870; and Abdul Aziz, the Karachi wicket-keeper, over the heart in the 1958-59 Quaid-e-Azam final. \n\nRaman Lamba died in a Dhaka hospital, aged 38. Three days earlier he had been hit on the temple while fielding, without a helmet, at short leg in front of a substantial crowd at a big club match at the Bangabandhu Stadium. Lamba walked off the field and the injury appeared not to be serious, but he suffered an internal haemorrhage and his condition worsened dramatically. A neurosurgeon was flown in from Delhi but it was already too late.\n\nThe last first-class cricketer to die after being hit in any match was Ian Folley of Lancashire, playing for Whitehaven in 1993.

Suresh Raina definitely, but Robin Uthappa may end up in the opening slot one day...too premature to juge him based on just 2 ODI. besides suresh is not a contender for the top order

HARBHJAN SINGH ALONE IS ENOUGH.  YUVRAJ AND SEHWAG CAN BE UTILISED AS SECOND SPINNER IF REQUIRED.

It is absolutely not a good way. He was humiliated by Kiran More and the other members of the team management. Its shameful how politics affects cricket in India. Sourav Ganguly is the poor victim of the whole political drama. Im not saying he is 100% innocent but it was still unjust to remove him like that.

back in da day it was. we are changing the face of the game, for good i hope. this can only be refered to ODI's. the Test matches are different, players like Hayden and Sehwag are not qualified as "GENTLEMEN" even in Test match cricket. they are nothing but run scoring machine.

Another Ganguly Question... lol --- Why cant just people take it that he is the PAST of Indian Cricket now. \nHaving said that, all depends on his show in the counties which he is playing in currently, Which am afraid he started with very bad scores. If he continues like this and then again in the Indian Domestic Cricket which I think he is gonna play after this. Then.. GOOD BYE to him. India has more young blood waiting in line. He can accompany Indian team for World Cup as an "Experience Advisor" though.. If he wants.

1st of all: Don´t assume me as Mahendra Singh Dhoni. It´s just my nickname.\n\nFinally the question is being asked, though after, about, 10 days. The question which is on every Indian´s tongue.\n\nHere my answer to that:\n\nWell, he doesn´t have any girl-friend, or neither is he planning to get married yet. He says that his first priority is to win the World Cup for his country. several people have asked him this question. His reply was the same (the one I gave).\n\nRawal.
