'''Madhav Krishnaji Mantri''' {{audio|Madhav_Mantri.ogg|pronunciation}} (1 September 1921 – 23 May 2014) was an Indian [[cricket]]er who played in four [[Test cricket|Tests]] from 1951 to 1955. Born in [[Nasik]], [[Maharashtra]], he was a right-handed opening batsman and specialist [[wicket-keeper]] who represented [[Mumbai cricket team|Mumbai]]. He captained Mumbai to victory in three [[Ranji Trophy]] finals: 1951–52, 1955–56 and 1955–56. He captained [[Associated Cement Company cricket team|Associated Cement Company]] to victory in the [[Moin-ud-Dowlah Gold Cup Tournament]] in 1962–63.<br />
<br />
Mantri played his first Test against [[England cricket team|England]] in India in 1951–52 and toured England with the [[India cricket team|Indian team]] in 1952 (playing two Tests), and [[Pakistan]] in 1954–55 (one Test). His highest score was 200 for Mumbai in their victory over [[Maharashtra cricket team|Maharashtra]] in a semi-final of the Ranji Trophy in 1948–49.<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/18/18796.html Maharashtra v Mumbai 1948–49]</ref> It was the highest of nine centuries in a match in which 2376 runs were scored, which is still a record in [[first-class cricket]].<ref>''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden]]'' 2013, p. 1284.</ref><br />
<br />
He was among the four victims (others being [[Pankaj Roy]], [[Dattajirao Gaekwad]] and [[Vijay Manjrekar]]) in India's miserable 0–4 start in the second innings of the Headingley Test of 1952 with Fred Trueman playing havoc.<br />
<br />
Mantri was the uncle of former Indian cricket captain [[Sunil Gavaskar]]. Until his death, he lived in Hindu Colony, Dadar, Mumbai, and was the oldest living Indian Test cricketer. He suffered a heart attack on 1 May 2014 and was hospitalized at a private clinic. He died following another heart attack on 23 May 2014.<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/747007.html "Madhav Mantri dies aged 92"], "ESPNCricinfo", 23 May 2014</ref><br />
