Prime Minister, Narendra Modi deeply condoled the passing away of former Indian Cricketer Salim Durrani on Sunday 2 April at 88. His death was confirmed by his family.

In his tweet, the Prime Minister wrote “Salim Durani Ji was a cricketing legend, an institution in himself. He made a key contribution to India’s rise in the world of cricket. On and off the field, he was known for his style. Pained by his demise. Condolences to his family and friends. May his soul rest in peace.”

“Salim Durani Ji had a very old and strong association with Gujarat. He played for Saurashtra and Gujarat for a few years. He also made Gujarat his home. PM Modi had the opportunity to interact with him and was deeply impressed by his multifaceted persona.
He will surely be missed.

Salim Durani, was a suave India cricketer of the 1960s. He was blessed with the face of a film star, puckish sense of humour, and a penchant for hitting monstrous sixes on demand.
