• Keep Played 54 matches, and also coached the side. There's this from his coaching and other articles out there, which makes me believe that there will be even more offline or in Indian sources.
• Keep. Per Rugbyfan22. The nominator needs to realise that nominating cricketers with this many appearances is unreasonable and will get people's backs up. We're not talking about one or two matches here, but a fairly significant number for which coverage of some sort will exist, be it online or offline in Hindi language resources.

• Keep - it is reasonable to expect coverage because cricketers with that many first-class matches usually pass WP:GNG. There is no urgency for expansion. Störm (talk) 07:26, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Played in 44 F/C games in a career that spanned more than a decade. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:53, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Over 2000 FC runs at an average well over 30, 54 qualifying appearances. A ridiculous AfD nomination. DevaCat1 (talk) 09:16, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per my comments at Dinkar Deshpande below. No Great Shaker (talk) 11:59, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Note to Closer: Please consider WP:NSPORTS, which is meant to help evaluate whether or not a subject is likely to have enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. Playing a certain number of games does not establish notability, and only one non-database source has been found. –dlthewave ☎ 15:05, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - notable cricketer. Riteboke (talk) 08:10, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
