Wife of legendary cricketer Lala Amarnath, Kailash Kumari, who gave India two Test cricketers and a first-class player, has passed away at her residence here.
Amarnath's three sons, Surinder, Mohinder and Rajinder were all present at their mother's bedside when the 92-year-old breathed her last on Sunday.
While Lala, who died in 2000 at 88 years of age, scored India's first Test century and went on to become Indian cricket's patriarchal figure as selector, manager, coach and broadcaster, his sons Surinder and Mohinder went on to represent the national team.
The youngest son, Rajinder, was a first-class player.
Family sources confirmed that the great lady, who had a great influence on her three sons, had not been keeping well off late.
