Rusi Modi (original) (raw)

Rustomji Sheriyar Modi (11 November 1924 – 17 May 1996) was an Indian cricketer who played for the India national cricket team from 1946 to 1952. Modi's test career started at Lord's in India's first test in England in their tour of England in 1946. He made his debut in a three-day match (22–25 June 1946), which is best recognised for Sir Alec Bedser's eleven-wicket haul on debut. Incidentally, this test also marked the test debuts of Vijay Hazare and Vinoo Mankad, who would go on to be recognised players for India.
