About Budhi Kunderan
Budhisagar Krishnappa Kunderan was an Indian cricketer. He played as a wicket keeper for the most of his career, and was an exciting but unorthodox right-handed batsman who competed for international selection with contemporary Farokh Engineer. In his eighteen Tests between 1960 and 1967, he scored 981 runs with two centuries and a batting average of 32.70. With the gloves he took 23 catches and executed seven stumpings. Budhi Kunderan made his first-class debut for the Cricket Club of India against the touring West Indies in 1958–59. Kunderan got out hit wicket on his first appearance while attempting to pull Ian Meckiff but scored 71 and 33 in his next Test. Engineer was selected ahead of Kunderan when England again visited India in 1963–64, but he was found medically unfit on the eve of the first Test at Madras.
