2nd Balan Pandit Trophy T20 tournament starting from 19th April to 6th May 2016 @ Rajagiri college ground. We would be pleased to know if you are reporting this event.
About Balan Pandit:-With the arrival of Balan Pandit, a new era begun in Kerala Cricket. He came with a great reputation. A product of King George School. Bombay (now Mumbai) he worked with BEST for some time. Balan Pandit played for Kathiawar and saw at close quarters BB Nimbalkar’s huge score of over 400 runs. Narain Tamhane who donned the gloves for India was Balan’s understudy during his Bombay years. Handsome is what handsome does’, and in whatever Balan Pandit did there was touch of class and elegance. In Balan’s first batch of students there were eight boys all drawn from the local schools. As a Coach, Balan Pandit was exacting. Nothing short of the best pleased him. He was the Sir Oracle of Kerala cricket and it was the fond dream of every budding cricketer to emulate him as a wicket keeper-batsman. Balan Pandit’s batting was sheer lyric. He cut and drove with élan and his masterpiece was the late cut. Perhaps, the only other name that comes to mind in the execution of this stroke is the great Vinoo Mankad. In the 14th match he played for Kerala against Andhra at Palghat in 1959, Balan Pandit made an unbeaten 262. He kept wickets for South Zone against the visiting New Zealand team in the Bangalore match He Served as the Member of Indian Junior Selection Committee and Chairman of Kerala Senior Selection Panel and also served as the Vice President of Kerala Cricket Association.
