Profile
A stockily built right handed opening batsman with a good defence and
a penchant for the pull shot, Jayantilal went to the West Indies in
1971 as a reserve opening batsman. But with Gavaskar injured, he
played in the first Test at Kingston and was out for five. That
remained the only Test in his career but in the first class matches,
Jayantilal was a success finishing fourth in the averages with 506
runs (56.22). He was less successful on the tour of England later that
year.
Jayantilal made his way into the Indian team based on the strength of
some fine performances around the domestic circuit. On his debut in
the Ranji Trophy, he made 153 against Andhra in 1968-69. He was one of
the stalwarts of the Hyderabad side for nearly two decades and
finished with a tally of 2384 runs (41.10). (Partab
