Some pics from past, got to spend some time with MP team in dressing room. This is in Bhiali town of MP .
As Rajesh Chauhan was from the town and we had played local tournament(s) together, wasn't much difficult to get into their dressing room.

With N hirwani - 1992- Rajesh asked me not to wake him up else he would not let us take the pic

Thank for the photos Pankaj.

I have watched a Kanga league match at Shivaji Park Gymkhana sitting next to Ajit Wadekar, when he was still the India captain. He was abusing away in Marathi to glory every time someone got out or when the opposition bowled a good ball. He was already out in that match but desperately wanted his team (Shivaji Park) to win.

I have watched Chandu Borde playing a Times shield match at Shivaji Park  sneaking out of our PT period and then I was at the Giles Shield final between my school and King George High school (later named as Raja Shivaji High School!!) at Matunga Gymkhana. Sandeep Patil was our Captain and Dilip Vengsarkar was theirs. Sandeep scored 144 in that match and with amount of 4s and 6s he hit it appeared as if every 2nd ball he faced was out of the ground. Needless to say, we won.

Just by the way, Sandeep's first wife Archana Deo was from my batch. They had it going since that time in school. I was quite upset when I found out much later that they split.

Hey .. this is quite cool. What is Chauhan upto these days?

With ICL  , Last I knew. Don't read to much into the dosti ,Koi Dost vagerah nahi thi , He had started getting famous and everybody wanted to get closed to him. I was just and ordinarly fan , trying to make my way. But Yes I have fresh memories of playing with him , in tournaments, Have seen few local boys hitting long sixes to Chauhan. Baad me he stopped playing locally(as one owuld expect).

Lemme see if i can dig out the thread of this match .. It was against rajasthan ..

OK .. I found it , Here it is. I do have other pics with Rajasthan team and some others , but will have to do a lot of explanation there.
MP had its bunch of serious guys  Incuding Patil , Chauhnan , Hirwani etc.
