Legends of Kshatriya Sagara

ML JayaSimha 
 
First of all, Let us know about famous Hyderabadi ex Cricket Player Late M .L. JayaSimha. 
Motganhalli Laxminarsu Jaisimha was born on  March 3, 1939, Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh, was an Indian Test Cricketer. M.L. Jaisimha was a right-handed batsman who was popular for his style on and off the field. He was a medium pace bowler, often opening the bowling for India, and was a brilliant fielder. Partab Ramchand wrote after Jaisimha's death that "his slim figure, which he maintained till his last day, the boyish good looks, the inimitable gait, the trademark silk shirt and scarf, the sleeves buttoned at the wrist or the collar turnedup, all these attracted immediate attention. He was called by ‘cultivated stylist’ by Indian Cricket.

Jaisimha made his first-class debut at the age of 15 scoring 90 for Hyderabad against Andhra Pradesh. He played for Ranji matches and also for international test cricket. Later he converted to an opener due to the competition in the middle order.

Famous Indian captain Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi was also played under his leadership. ML Jaisimha was a selector during 1977-78 and 1980-81, and managed the Indian tour to Sri Lanka in 1985-86. He was represented the country as a Test Cricketer, Test Selector, Cricket Commentator, Sportswriter, Media Person and State Coach.  Jayasimha’s son Vivek Jaisimha was a first class cricketer.
 
Later, Jayasimha’s wife jayanthi jayasimha and her family members promoted the “Jaisimha Cricket Academy”, to fulfill a cherished dream. The Academy brings cricket to one and all in matchless style by providing unique stadium-like, all-weather cricketing facilities in an 8000 sft indoor arena, 365 days a year (on a pay-and-play basis).
