Former India cricketers Chandrakant Pandit and Lalchand Rajput were thrilled to recollect their first meeting with batting great Vijay Merchant prior to India U-20 team’s Sri Lanka tour in December 1980.
Their recollections came to the fore when a weekly photo quiz was posted recently on Facebook. The quiz master asked his friends to identify the young cricketers with Merchant in the photograph, which also appears in this article. They were Pandit, Ravi Shastri and Rajput chatting with the golden great at a Mumbai Cricket Association-organised function at the Wankhede Stadium to felicitate the Sri Lanka-bound three Mumbai players—captain Shastri, batsmen Pandit and Rajput.
