The funeral will be held in Dungarpur Sunday, according
to sources close to him.

Born on December 19, 1935 as the youngest son of
Maharawal Lakshman Singhji, the ruler of Dungarpur, he played
Ranji Trophy for Rajasthan for 16 years, between 1955 and
1971, as a medium-fast bowler.

The gangling bowler captured 206 wickets in 86 matches
and rubbed shoulders with stalwarts like Vijay Manjrekar,
Hanumant Singh and Salim Durrani. But he never played for the
country in Tests.

He studied at the Daly College in Indore and got close to
former India skipper C K Nayudu whom he held in very high
esteem till his death. His elder brothers - Jaisinghji and
Mahipalsinghji - are living in Rajasthan.

Dungarpur was also a close friend of melody queen Lata
Mangeshkar. (More) PTI
