'''Manohar Shankar Hardikar''' {{audio|Manohar_Hardikar.ogg|pronunciation}} (8 February 1936 – 4 February 1995) was an Indian [[Test cricket]]er.<br />
<br />
Hardikar represented India in two Tests against [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] in [[West Indian cricket team in India in 1958–59|1958–59]]. He was dismissed by [[Roy Gilchrist]] off the very first ball that he faced in Test cricket. He then took a wicket with his third ball in Test cricket by dismissing [[Rohan Kanhai]]. In the second innings, he scored 32* and added 85* with [[Gulabrai Ramchand|G.S. Ramchand]] which saved India from a possible defeat.<br />
<br />
In the next Test at [[Green Park Stadium|Kanpur]], Hardikar was hit on the head by a [[Beamer (cricket)|beamer]] from [[Wes Hall]]. Hall had been angered by no-ball calls from the umpire [[Mohammad Yunus (umpire)|Mohammad Yunus]]. The ball hit Hardikar behind his left ear and knocked him down.<ref>[[Dicky Rutnagur]], [https://crickethistory.website/books/1959-60_indian_cricket_field_annual/index.html#100 Indian Cricket Field Annual, 1959-60], p.88</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/top-stories/Mumbai-crickets-all-time-khadoos/articleshow/13074789.cms |title=Mumbai cricket's all-time khadoos |author=Makarand Waingankar |work=The Times of India |date=10 May 2012 |access-date=4 December 2014}}</ref> He played no more international matches but was indirectly involved in [[Polly Umrigar#Test captain|the controversy]] that led to the resignation of [[Polly Umrigar]] later in the series.<br />
<br />
Hardikar played for [[Mumbai cricket team|Bombay]] from [[1955–56 Ranji Trophy|1955–56]] to [[1967–68 Ranji Trophy|1967–68]]. In the [[Ranji Trophy|Ranji]] final in his first year, he took a career best 8 for 39 against [[Bengal cricket team|Bengal]]. He captained Bombay in twelve matches, winning five and drawing the rest. Bombay won the title in [[1965–66 Ranji Trophy|1965–66]] and [[1967–68 Ranji Trophy|1967–68]] under his captaincy.<br />
