Former TN batter P Ramesh marks special Buchi Babu visit during first final in five years

The Hindu  

There was a special visitor to watch Madhya Pradesh and Delhi battle in the final of the Buchi Babu tournament, which has been revived after five years, in Coimbatore on Sunday. P. Ramesh was a former Tamil Nadu and South Zone batter who played 30 First Class matches. The 70-year-old Ramesh is the great-grandson of Buchi Babu Naidu, known as the ‘Father of Madras Cricket’, for having promoted the sport among the local population in the city in the late 19th and early 20th century before his untimely demise in 1908. Ramesh made a century on his Ranji Trophy debut for TN against Karnataka, facing the likes of Erapalli Prasanna and B. S. Chandrasekhar.
