The Dr HD Kanga Cricket League returned to the city after two years and Day One of the 2022 edition was greeted with bright sunshine. In an interesting coincidence, PJ Hindu Gymkhana won a Kanga League ‘A’ division game as defending champions on Sunday just like they did 40 Augusts ago. The 2019 champions (there was no Kanga League in 2020 and 2021) beat Mumbai Police at the neighbouring Police Gymkhana on Marine Drive, while in 1981, they overcame Shivaji Park Youngsters, whose score of 137 was surpassed by the PJ side without any loss of wickets. Shishir Hattangadi (90) and his Podar College teammate Jignesh Sanghani (44) paved the way for Gymkhana’s win way back then.
