This tally included a pair at Old Trafford.

1952

He was among the four victims (others being Datta Gaekwad, Vijay Manjrekar and Madhav Mantri) in India's miserable 0–4 start in the second innings of the Headingley Test of 1952 with Fred Trueman playing havoc.

He would hit five Test centuries for India, with a top score of 173.
