Yajurvindra Singh
Indian cricketer
Yajurvindra Singh (born 1 August 1952) is a former Indian cricketer who played in four Test matches from 1977 to 1979. He is from the erstwhile princely family of Bilkha, in Junagadh district in Saurashtra. Yajurvindra Singh, known as 'Sunny' since childhood, studied at the elite Rajkumar College in Rajkot, where he captained his School Team at the same time that Karsan Ghavri, who hailed from Rajkot, and who eventually went on to play for the Indian team, captained the Virani High School team. The two often played against each other at local school fixtures.
Yajurvindra became a co-holder of two Test fielding records when on Test debut he took five catches in an innings (first done by Vic Richardson in 1936), and seven in a match (first achieved by Greg Chappell in 1974). Aiden Markram now holds the record for nine catches in a Test but Yajurvindra remains a co-holder of the innings record.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Yajurvindra Singh” is indian cricketer. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Yajurvindra, Singh and Indian, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “indian cricketer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q8047013. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1952, 1977, 1979 and 1936.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
