One of his book most popular books includes India’s Hambledon Men – on first ever tour undertaken by Parsi cricketers to England way back in 1886.
He recently spoke to Hindustan Times where he said he was very happy to see India’s test series victory in Australia. Vasant Raiji was 13 years old when India played their first test match in 1933 and he was 98 earlier this month when India won it’s very first series in Australia.
“Beating Australia is a great achievement, all away series are difficult. Kohli is a fine, attacking batsman.” Raiji said.
His younger brother Madan Raiji, who died 10 days before his 89th birthday, also played 34 First Class matches for Mumbai.
SportsIndia team wishes Vasantji a very happy birthday.
