The result was keep. Consensus is clear her that the relevant notability guidelines are met. While I understand nom's objections, there is a clear consensus here to keep. (non-admin closure) Smartyllama (talk) 15:02, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Played 53 matches in his career. There's this and lots of other match related coverage of his career which makes me believe there will be more in Indian sources and offline also. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 17:42, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Per Rugbyfan22. The nominator needs to realise that nominating cricketers with this many appearances is unreasonable and will get people's backs up. We're not talking about one or two matches here, but a fairly significant number for which coverage of some sort will exist, be it online or offline in Hindi language resources.

• Keep - it is reasonable to expect coverage because cricketers with that many first-class matches usually pass WP:GNG. There is no urgency for expansion. Störm (talk) 07:24, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Played in more than 50 games in a career that spanned almost a decade. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:54, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep 53 qualifying games in a long career, including 2 FC tonnes. DevaCat1 (talk) 09:17, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per my comments at Dinkar Deshpande below. No Great Shaker (talk) 11:59, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Note to Closer: Please consider WP:NSPORTS, which is meant to help evaluate whether or not a subject is likely to have enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. Playing a certain number of games does not establish notability, and only minor coverage has been found. –dlthewave ☎ 15:00, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - notable cricketer. Riteboke (talk) 08:09, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
