Career


Rajindernath was one of the four wicket-keepers that India tried against Pakistan in the 1952–53 series. He played in the Third Test at Bombay which India won losing only four wickets. Rajindernath did not bat but effected four stumpings,[2] three of which were off Subhash Gupte.[3][4] He holds the Test record for the most stumpings in a complete career without a catch.[5] He was replaced by Ebrahim Maka for the next Test.

Rajindernath also played in three unofficial Tests against a touring Commonwealth XI in 1950-51.[6] In December 1950 he hit his only first-class century, when he scored 136 for Bihar in their innings victory over Orissa in the Ranji Trophy.[7]

Rajindernath studied at Government College, Lahore, and took an MA in Hindi from Benares. He worked for Burmah Shell and later with Indo-Nippon batteries in Baroda.
