10 Indian cricketers who played just one game and faded away

2. Vijay Rajendernath

Coming from Amritsar Punjab, Vijay Rajendernath, who was a wicket-keeper batter had made his only India debut way back in the year 1952-53. The cricketer was luckily one of the four wicket-keeper batters who were tried by the Indian team against Pakistan in the 1952-53 Test series.

While playing the third Test match of the series at Bombay, Rajendernath did effect a total of four stumpings, three of which were attained in the bowling of Shubash Gupte. However, in that same game, Rajendernath didn’t even get to bat. Hence, with the cricketer also never been able to play again for India, he still holds the Test record for the most stumpings in a complete career without a catch.

Further, while representing India in 1950-51, Rajendernath also had made himself feature in the three of the unofficial Tests against LEG Ames’s Commonwealth side. Overall, the wicket-keeper batsman also ended up having a modest Ranji career, as an aggregate of 844 runs along with 34 catches and 23 stumpings were effected by him during his stay for the Bihar team.
