[[Kumar]] [[Shri]] '''Ghanshyamsinhji Daulatsinhji''' [[Jhala (clan)|Jhala]] of [[Limbdi]] (23 October 1902 – 10 November 1964), often known as '''K. S. Limbdi''' during his cricket career, was an Indian nobleman and [[first-class cricket]]er. He was a cousin of England Test batsman [[Kumar Shri Duleepsinhji]] and brother-in-law of [[Natwarsinhji Bhavsinhji]], the [[Jethwa]] ruler of the Princely State of [[Porbandar]].<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/34/34179/34179.html KS Limbdi player profile] – CricketArchive. Retrieved 20 March 2014.</ref><ref name=L>[http://www.uq.net.au/~zzhsoszy/ips/l/limbdi.html Limbdi (Princely State)]</ref>

Ghanshyamsinhji learnt his cricket at The Leys in [[Cambridge]]. He played a few games in India but missed history when he failed to make the playing eleven during India's Test debut. A back injury contributed to his absence. He led Western India to a Ranji Trophy victory, at the age of 40.<ref>[http://findarticles.com/p/news-articles/dna-sunday-mumbai/mi_8112/is_20100509/father-indian-cricket-ks-ranjitsinhji/ai_n53544333/]</ref> He lived in [[Gujarat]] and played his cricket for Western India. Due to his royal connections he was vice-captain of India's tour of England in 1932, but in 11 matches he made only 154 runs at an average of 9.62.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/0/India_in_British_Isles_1932/f_Indians_Batting.html Batting averages, Indians in England 1932]</ref>

His highest score was 57, in 1931-32, playing for his own team, KS Ghanshyamsinhji of Limbdi's XII, against Maharaj Kumar of Vizianagram's XI, in a trial match for the 1932 tour.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/14/14150.html Maharaj Kumar of Vizianagram's XI v KS Ghanshyamsinhji of Limbdi's XII]</ref>

He was second child of the ruler of the Princely State of Limbdi, Col. HH Thakur Sahib Shri Sir Daulatsinhji Jashwantsinhji (1907-1940). Being a prince, he was also known by '''K.S. Limbdi''' ([[Kumar]] [[Shri]] [[Limbdi]]).<ref name=L/>
