Ramnath Baburao Kenny (29 September 1930 – 21 November 1985) was an Indian cricketer who played in five Test matches between 1958 and 1960. He was an elegant right handed middle order batsman, "a front foot player with a sound defense" and an occasional off-break bowler. Personal life Son of a mill manager in David Sassoon & Co., Kenny studied at King George High School, R.N. Ruia College and Sidharth College, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1961, he did a business management course in England. Later in his life, he worked for the State Bank of India in Bombay and for Mahindra & Mahindra. Cricket career Kenny played a few seasons of cricket for the Bombay University before making his first class debut for Bombay against the Commonwealth XI. A month later, he played his first match in Ranji Trophy scoring 52 against Maharashtra and adding 147 with Dattu Phadkar who made a career highest 217* at the other end. During this he scored an all-run six without the aid of overthrows. Kenny hit the ball to extra cover where it stopped just short of the boundary. Before the fielder, the Raja of Jath, could retrieve the ball, Kenny and Phadkar ran six. While not yet a regular in the Bombay team, he did well for the Universities against touring teams, scoring 86* against England in 1951-52 and 99 against Pakistan in 1952-53. After a 143 for Bombay against the next Commonwealth XI in 1953-54, where he reached his hundred in only 148 minutes, he was selected for two Unofficial Test matches. He scored 65, 33 & 11* in them. Indian Cricket annual selected him as one of the "Cricketers of year" for 1953–54. 1956-57 After several moderate seasons, Kenny flowered in 1956–57 Ranji Trophy. In the West Zone final against Maharashtra, Bombay reached 469 for 4 at the end of the second day, a lead of 298. The Bombay captain Madhav Mantri used the heavy roller on the pitch on the third day to break up the wicket. On this pitch with life and unpredictable bounce, Kenny scored 139. Five batsmen scored over 50 but writing for the Indian Cricket Field Annual, Dicky Rutnagur considered Kenny's innings technically the most perfect innings of the match. Bombay faced Uttar Pradesh in the quarter final. On jute matting, C. S. Nayudu reduced Bombay to 111 for 5.
