Nitin Menon’s father, 80, still umpires junior cricket in Indore
Nitin Menon's father, 80-year-old Narendra Menon, continues to umpire junior cricket matches in Indore. Although his final international umpiring role was in 1998, he remains passionate about the sport. At the Central Gymkhana ground, he oversees matches for three clubs: his own Maharaja Yashwant Rao Cricket Club, the Cricket Club of Indore, and the Indore Divisional Cricket Association.
Nitin now oversees matches for boys aged 12 to 15, teaching them the rules and correcting their mistakes. He emphasizes the importance of learning the correct procedures, such as taking off the bails and applying the correct terms like "no ball."
