Prakash Bhandari pronunciation (born November 27, 1935, Delhi ) represented India in Test cricket.
Bhandari was an attacking right handed batsman and an off-break bowler. He toured Pakistan in 1954/55 and also played Tests against New Zealand and Australia. His highest score was 39 against New Zealand batting at No. 8.
Against Rajasthan in the 1961/62 Ranji semifinal he scored a hundred in 60 minutes while Bengal was going for a declaration in the second innings.[2]. At the time it was believed to be the fastest hundred in Indian cricket, but a 60 minute hundred by Ken Goldie [3] in 1915-16 and a 40 minute one by Ahsan-ul-Haq [4] in 1923-24 have been discovered since then. His highest first class score was 227 for Delhi against Patiala in 1957/58.
He worked with the Tatas.
