Sixty years ago, Nari Contractor had a titanium plate inserted in his head to ensure there would be no further damage after being hit on the skull by a Charlie Griffith bouncer in Barbados on March 17, 1962. The plate will be removed tomorrow at the Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai. “The body is rejecting the plate, so he has lost the skin covering it. Hence, it has to be removed,” Contractor’s son Hoshedar told mid-day.
