Yajurvindra Singh


Yajurvindra Singh is a former Indian cricketer who played in four Test matches from 1977 to 1979. He is from the erstwhile princely family of Bilkha, in Junagadh district in Saurashtra. Yajurvindra Singh, known as 'Sunny' since childhood, studied at the elite Rajkumar College in Rajkot, where he captained his School Team at the same time that Karsan Ghavri, who hailed from Rajkot, and who eventually went on to play for the Indian team, captained the Virani High School team. The two often played against each other at local school fixtures.
Yajurvindra became a co-holder of two Test fielding records when on Test debut he took five catches in an innings, and seven in a match. Aiden Markram now holds the record for nine catches in a Test but Yajurvindra remains a co-holder of the innings record.
