Palwankar, A great player. Agreed! He was fantastic and worth remembering! Agreed. But, what is this title “… DALIT Cricketer.” He is a good player bcoz he played good, which is the result of inherrent passion and practice. How, Dalitb or non Dalit reflects on his game?

His son Yeshwant Baloo Palwankar was a great left handed cricketer too. An allrounder, he captained Ruia College . He was a very strict captain and would not tolerate any missed fielding or dropped catch. He once sent off his wicket keeper in a friendly match. He was selected for the combined university team against West Indies. His selection in the Bombay team was cut short due to a difference of opinion with Vijay Metchant who was a selector. He gracefully retired and moved to Pune.
