Colonel C.K.Nayudu recruited X to play for Holkar. During the Ranji Trophy final, Holkar needed a massive 868 to win in the 4th innings. X and Y, a Holkar regular, came together at 12 for 2. The pitch remained good, and both batsmen found the going easy. As the stand went on, the possibility of a remarkable win briefly flickered. Y later recalled that they "stole many impossible singles from gaps in the field. It was surprising how X and myself could get that understanding between us, so as to produce perfect running between the wickets." If that recollection is accurate, then it is also remarkable; X's inability to judge a run was legendary.
