CAB Honours Ranji Trophy Winning Coach Nandy

The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) honoured Bengal’s former Ranji Trophy winning coach Palash Nandy with the Lifetime Achievement Award at their annual awards ceremony here on Tuesday.

Right-handed batsman Nandy scored 3,208 runs in 57 matches for Bengal, also capturing eight wickets with his part-time right-arm off-breaks.

He played from 1969-70 till 1983-84. Nandy’s highest score was 205 not out.  Virat Kohli Pays His Tribute To Greatest-EverUsain Bolt

The 65-year-old was also appointed coach of the Bengal team in the year 1989-90 when he guided them to their second Ranji Trophy triumph.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee handed over the prize to Nandy who also got richer by Rs 2 lakh.

“I still remember the day when I was in shorts, playing the U-19s and I met Palash Nandy at Mohun Bagan club and he was the coach,” said CAB President Sourav Ganguly, who made his domestic debut under Nandy’s coaching.   Shikhar Dhawan Posts Hilarious Video With Virat Kohli And Cheteshwar Pujara On Friendship Day
