POLLY GOOD FELLOW
There were tears in our eyes when I visited him two weeks ago. I still remember him taking my hand in his and talking about incidents of our playing days. He was a simple man with an outstanding knowledge of the game —Chandu Borde The time is not good for Indian cricket and the passing away of Umrigar is another sad event. He was a great cricketer and, more importantly, a perfect gentleman —Sachin Tendulkar I’m sure he’d achieved more if the frequency of Tests had been what it’s today. He was a superb stroke-player, a fine all-rounder and a brilliant fielder. One-day cricket would have suited him —Nari Contractor Like a doctor to patients, he was one to the game of cricket —Ravi Shastri Not all cricketers prove to be good administrators, but ‘Polly kaka’ was an exception —Jagmohan Dalmiya The board will institute a trophy in his name and awarded to the most promising cricketer of the year from this season. The recipient will get a cheque of Rs 5 lakh -Sharad Pawar Polly was an old friend of mine. He was like a brother to me. In fact, we had a party some days ago where the entire gang, including myself, Bapu Nadkarni, Ajit Wadekar, Madhav Mantri and Polly met and relived the old days. —Bal Thackeray |
