Commemorative plaque unveiled at MCA museum

A commemorative plaque was unveiled by former BCCI and ICC president Sharad Pawar at the MCA Museum here to mark the birth centenary of former India player Polly Umrigar.

The plaque pays tribute to the legend, who played 59 Tests between 1948 and 1962 and captained India in eight of them, and who also served the game with distinction as both a player and an administrator. “Polly Umrigar’s contribution to Indian cricket is truly monumental, and it is our privilege to honour his legacy in his birth centenary year,” said MCA president Ajinkya Naik. “This commemorative installation at the MCA Sharad Pawar Cricket Museum is a tribute to his remarkable achievements and enduring influence on the game,” he added.
