Raosaheb Babasaheb Nimbalkar (1 December 1915 – 1 June 1965) was an Indian first-class cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a wicket-keeper who occasionally bowled leg breaks. He played from 1934 to 1953, initially for Maharashtra and then for Baroda. Nimbalkar never played Test cricket but he travelled to England in 1946 as India's reserve wicketkeeper, understudying Dattaram Hindlekar.[1] Nimbalkar was born at Kolhapur, Maharashtra and died at Jalna, Maharashtra. He was the elder brother of fellow Indian first-class cricketer B. B. Nimbalkar.[2]
