All the three bowlers have taken hat-tricks in which all the three dismissals were effected by the wicket-keepers (Townsend against Somerset in 1893, Ramji against Railways A in 1931 and Jackson against Worcestershire in 1958).

When India took their long-awaited trip to Pakistan in 1978, the tour party, including the entire squad and some journalists, saw a bus and a Toyota waiting for them. The manager, Fatehsinghrao Gaekwad, the erstwhile King of Baroda, a Member of Parliament, an ex-chairman of BCCI, an honourary life member of MCC, a renowned radio commentator and what not, assumed that the Toyota was for him and advanced.
