7 Father-Son pairs to have played international cricket

#6 Vijay and Sanjay Manjrekar:

Vijay Manjrekar and Sanjay Manjrekar both played Test cricket for India

Vijay Manjrekar played Test matches for India from 1952 to 1965. Vijay rose to limelight when he scored his maiden Test century against England at Headingley at the age of just 20. He represented India in 55 Tests and scored 3208 runs at an average of 39.12 with seven centuries and 15 half-centuries to his credit.

His First Class record is really impressive with 12832 runs in 198 matches with 38 centuries and 56 half-centuries and a healthy average of 49.92. Sadly, he could not perform with same consistency for India at the international level.

Sanjay Manjrekar had a very promising start to his Test career but could not live up to his potential. In a career spanning over nine years, he represented India in just 37 Tests and 74 ODIs. He averaged 37.14 in Tests and 33.23 in ODIs.

He was in and out of the Indian team and with the emergence of youngsters like Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and V.V.S. Laxman in the Indian team, Sanjay found it hard to make it consistently in the Indian squad in the late 1990s. Post-retirement, he is a successful and a respected commentator and a sharp and an accurate analyzer of the game.
