EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the elegant figure of Sir Ranjitsinhji Vibhaji Jadeja, the Maharaja of Nawanagar and a legendary cricketer, as he leans against the railing at the Oval cricket ground in London during the 1930s. Born in 1872, Ranji, as he was popularly known, was the first Indian to captain the English cricket team and remains one of the most celebrated figures in the history of the sport. Here, he is seen in his element, watching intently as the action unfolds on the field, his expression a perfect blend of concentration and enjoyment. Dressed in the formal attire of the time, complete with top hat and cane, the Maharaja cuts an imposing figure against the backdrop of the bustling cricket ground. The photograph, taken in 1931, is a testament to Ranji's enduring love for the game and his deep connection to the sport that brought him international fame. With his regal bearing and undeniable charisma, Sir Ranjitsinhji continues to inspire cricket enthusiasts around the world, more than eighty years after this photograph was taken.
