Timeline
Ramnath Baburao Kenny (29 September 1930 – 21 November 1985) was an Indian cricketer who played in five Test matches between 1958 and 1960.
He was an elegant right handed middle order batsman, "a front foot player with a sound defense" and an occasional off-break bowler.
Son of a mill manager in David Sassoon & Co., Kenny studied at King George High School, R.N. Ruia College and Sidharth College, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
While not yet a regular in the Bombay team, he did well for the Universities against touring teams, scoring 86* against England in 1951-52 and 99 against Pakistan in 1952-53.
After a 143 for Bombay against the next Commonwealth XI in 1953-54, where he reached his hundred in only 148 minutes, he was selected for two Unofficial Test matches.
He scored 65, 33 & 11* in them.
Indian Cricket annual selected him as one of the "Cricketers of year" for 1953–54.
After several moderate seasons, Kenny flowered in 1956–57 Ranji Trophy.
In the West Zone final against Maharashtra, Bombay reached 469 for 4 at the end of the second day, a lead of 298.
The Bombay captain Madhav Mantri used the heavy roller on the pitch on the third day to break up the wicket.
On this pitch with life and unpredictable bounce, Kenny scored 139.
Five batsmen scored over 50 but writing for the Indian Cricket Field Annual, Dicky Rutnagur considered Kenny's innings technically the most perfect innings of the match.
Bombay faced Uttar Pradesh in the quarter final.
On jute matting, C. S. Nayudu reduced Bombay to 111 for 5.
Kenny played another brilliant innings, outshining the Indian captain Polly Umrigar in a match winning partnership of 131 and mastering the bowling of Nayudu.
Placing the ball "wherever he liked", he scored 132 in 191 minutes with 16 fours.
In the semifinal at the Bombay Gymkhana, Kenny scored a career best 218 against Madras.
On another wicket that helped spinners, Bombay lost early wickets.
He confidently went down the wicket to the spinners and "tore the bowling to shreds. From fine leg glances to extra cover drives, the strokes flowed from his bat".
This was third hundred in consecutive innings.
He scored only 2 runs in the final against Services, his only failure in the season.
Bowling with the second new ball, Surendranath had Kenny edging to the slips where the catch was dropped by the future Air Marshall Gyanendranath Kunzru.
But in Surendranath's next over, he mistimed a hook to short fine leg.
Kenny topped the 1956-57 Ranji aggregates with 529 runs.
He already had a reputation for batting well on the difficult wickets in the Kanga League.
Bombay was eliminated early in the Ranji Trophy in 1957–58 but in the season after, Kenny scored 142 against Maharashtra.
Scored in 4 hours with a five and 19 fours, it came in a team score of 320 where no other batsman made more than 35.
He was selected for the third Test against West Indies that started the following week.
India lost two quick wickets when they started their innings late on the second day.
Both batsmen survived the day but Kenny fell to Hall for 16 & 0 on the third, his off-stump uprooted by an outswinger in the second innings.
India lost by an innings and 336, still their worst defeat in Test cricket.
In 1961, he did a business management course in England.
Later in his life, he worked for the State Bank of India in Bombay and for Mahindra & Mahindra.
Kenny played a few seasons of cricket for the Bombay University before making his first class debut for Bombay against the Commonwealth XI.
A month later, he played his first match in Ranji Trophy scoring 52 against Maharashtra and adding 147 with Dattu Phadkar who made a career highest 217* at the other end.
During this he scored an all-run six without the aid of overthrows.
