About Venkataraman Subramanya

Venkataraman Subramanya is an Indian former cricketer who played in nine Test matches from 1965 to 1968. He was an aggressive middle order batsman, who captained Mysore for some years, and a useful leg-spin bowler. He later emigrated to Australia. Brijesh Patel believed that Mysore could have won the Ranji Trophy much earlier if Subramanya had stayed back to guide the team. Gundappa Vishwanath said – "The 1974 team that won the Ranji Trophy was Mani's (Subramanya) team. In his first season as captain, he led his team to a semi-final showdown against Bombay at Central College Ground in Bangalore.
