Maharaj Shri Ranvirsinhji (7 October 1919 – 4 April 1962), a member of the Jamnagar royal family, played first-class cricket in India from 1936 to 1952. He toured Australia with the Indian team in 1947-48 but did not play Test cricket.
Ranvirsinhji made his first-class debut in 1936–37 at the age of 17, and played in the Nawanagar team that won the Ranji Trophy final a few months later, along with his brother Indravijaysinhji and their cousin Yadvendrasinhji. [1] In 1937-38 he made his highest score, 53, opening the batting for Nawanagar in an innings victory over Sind. [2]
He made 31 (top score) and 43 and took 6 for 84 when Nawanagar lost by an innings to Bombay in the Ranji Trophy in 1946–47. [3] But overall, in three matches in 1946-47 he scored only 137 runs at an average of 27.40, [4] and he was a surprise late inclusion in the Indian team that toured Australia in 1947-48. [5] In his first match of the tour, against New South Wales, he was injured when a ball from Ray Lindwall struck him on the knee. [6] Later on the tour he had trouble with his eyes, and a specialist in Melbourne had a pair of spectacles made for him. [7] He played only two first-class matches and was the only member of the 17-man team who did not play any of the Tests.
After the tour he did not play first-class cricket until 1950–51, when he returned to play for two unsuccessful seasons with Services.
His son Prahlad Singh played five matches for Saurashtra from 1958 to 1967. [8]
