later. Kenny had scored another hundred in March 1959 in the Ranji final against Bengal. He was now the vice captain in the Bombay side under Madhav Apte. Both Apte and Kenny scored ducks in the first innings and hundreds in the second. The two added 243 runs for the third wicket. In the second Test at Kanpur against Australia, Kenny played the most important innings of his Indian career. On a newly laid wicket that assisted spin, Australia took a first innings lead of 67 runs despite Jasu Patel taking nine wickets. Coming in at No.7 with the score on 153, Kenny added 61 runs with Chandu Borde and 72 with Bapu Nadkarni. After India scored 291, Patel and Polly Umrigar bowled Australia out for 105 for a famous win. Kenny's 51 in the second innings came after a zero in the first. He scored two more fifties in the series. At the Brabourne Stadium, his 55* on the last day and a partnership of 109 with Abbas Ali Baig helped save the match.
