EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the Fifth Test Match between England and Australia, played at the prestigious Oval Cricket Ground in London during the summer of 1899. K.S. Ranjitsinhji, an Indian cricketer representing England, is seen at the crease, poised to deliver a stroke through the off-side. Ranjitsinhji, who hailed from the princely state of Nawanagar in India, scored a valuable 54 runs in this innings, contributing significantly to England's impressive total of 576 runs. However, despite England's strong performance, the match ended in a draw, denying them the opportunity to secure a decisive victory and level the series. With Australia having won the previous Test, they emerged as the series winners with a score of 1-0. This historical photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of cricket and the remarkable talent of Ranjitsinhji, who went on to become one of the greatest batsmen of his time, scoring 21,000 runs in first-class cricket. The image, which shows Ranjitsinhji in his prime, is a fascinating glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring appeal of the game.
