It's a great loss to the cricketing fraternity, apart from being an exceptional cricketer in his hey days, was a good match referee and human being too. May God give strength to his family...
May the Almighty grant eternal peace to the departed soul of "Late Shri Hanumant Singh ji". He was truly a Great not only by scoring the century in his first test but also by his class, culture and commitment displayed for the game.Playing test in his days was based on the camps a player represented. Since he was considered Pataudi's man, he fell short of favour of the then selectors. He was one of the most stylished batsman till G. Vishwanath arrived on the scene. Late Hanumant Singh ji contributed a great deal of his energy, knowledge, time towards the first National Cricket Academy. May God help his bereaved family to the normalcy after his loss to them.
