A century of sporting excellence
It all started in the year 1900, when a few young and enthusiastic cricketers formed ‘Poona Young Cricketers’ Hindu Gymkhana’, a club for promoting cricket and other sports. In the early years, the Late Bapat Guruji from Hujurpaga School rendered yeoman’s service in facilitating basic sports like Wrestling, Mallkhamb, Hockey and Cricket. In 1906, the present Pavilion Building was built, which draws attention with its striking architecture. Cricket Maharshi the late D. B. Deodhar was one of the Club’s pillars of strength, who played a crucial role during the formative years.
