About Pananmal Punjabi
- Pananmal Hotchand Punjabi pronunciation (20 September 1921 – 4 October 2011) was an Indian cricketer who played in five Tests in 1955.
- He was born in Karachi. A right-handed opening batsman, Punjabi had a long but somewhat intermittent first-class cricket career, starting with two matches for Sind before partition and resuming more regularly from 1951 for Gujarat.
- In the 1953-54 season, he scored three centuries in three matches and was then picked for the tour to Pakistan the following season, 1954–55.
- He opened the batting in all five Tests with Pankaj Roy, and scored 164 runs, the fourth highest aggregate for the team.
- But his highest was only 33 and the series consisted largely of defensive cricket with all Tests drawn, the first time this had happened in a five-match series.
- He played on in Indian domestic cricket until 1959-60, scoring his highest score, an undefeated 224, in his penultimate game, but was never selected again for Test cricket.
- Despite his name, Punjabi came from Karachi, spoke Sindhi, represented Gujarat for most of his first class career, and was employed as a supervisor in Burmah Shell.
