Madhav Krishnaji Mantri 
pronunciation (1 September 1921 – 23 May 2014) was an Indian cricketer who played in four Tests from 1951 to 1955. Born in Nasik, Maharashtra, he was a right-handed opening batsman and specialist wicket-keeper who represented Bombay. He captained Bombay to victory in three Ranji Trophy finals: 1951-52, 1955-56 and 1955-56. He captained Associated Cement Company to victory in the Moin-ud-Dowlah Gold Cup Tournament in 1962-63.
Mantri played his first Test against England in India in 1951-52 and toured England with the Indian team in 1952 (playing two Tests), and Pakistan in 1954-55 (one Test). His highest score was 200 for Bombay in their victory over Maharashtra in a semi-final of the Ranji Trophy in 1948-49. 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.
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.
