Rabinranath "Robin" Mukherjee (12 November 1943 – 14 March 2009) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for a number of teams in India from 1964 to 1980.
An opening batsman, Mukherjee played his first first-class match in 1964-65 for Railways against Jammu and Kashmir, scoring 90 not out in the second innings before his captain declared.[1] He moved to Bengal, and in 1966-67, on his first appearance for the team, he made 111 against Bihar.[2] In 1967-68, on his first appearance for State Bank of India in the Moin-ud-Dowlah Gold Cup Tournament, he made 183 in 260 minutes, putting on 233 for the third wicket with Hanumant Singh.[3]
He moved to Bihar in 1969. In 1970-71 he made 288 runs at 48.00 in the Ranji Trophy as Bihar progressed to the semi-finals for only the third time. He made 58, the only score of the match over 30, as Bihar beat Assam by an innings, then 53 when Bihar gained a first-innings lead over Bengal to progress to the finals. Against Mysore in the quarter-final he scored 130 to help Bihar to a two-run first-innings lead and a place in the semi-final, which they lost to Punjab.[4] He continued to play regularly for Bihar until 1977-78. Later he served as a selector for Bengal and as chief curator of pitches for East Zone.[5]
He was not related to Raja Mukherjee, who played as a batsman for Bengal in the late 1960s and 1970s.[6] They opened the batting together in 1967-68, making 112 for the first wicket in their first partnership.[7]
