- Sufficiently new, long, policy-compliant, and referenced. Earwig spots some similar phrasing in places (less than 20%) but it's either proper nouns or basic facts/not sufficient to go over threshold of originality, so I'm not concerned. The hook is interesting, but overlong (208 characters if I exclude the ellipsis and count only the rendered text, not the raw markup). It needs trimmed a bit before it can go ahead. No concerns with the sourcing/accuracy of the hook.Image is free by way of being old, looks fine at small size.Needs QPQ and the hook fixed and then we're good to go. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 07:26, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review @Premeditated Chaos:. Trimmed the hook. Please have a look. I will work on the QPQ and add one here. Thanks. Ktin (talk) 16:15, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Trimmed hook's good, just waiting on QPQ. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 02:00, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- QPQ completed. Passing the nomination back to the reviewer. Thanks. Ktin (talk) 03:01, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

The image is appropriately licensed.
- What makes the following reliable sources?
- madrasmusings.com -- it looks like it's a newspaper but I can't find any evidence of editorial oversight or staff
- This is a local newspaper specifically in Madras (now Chennai). Seems to be registered as a newspaper. Does not have a very good online presence, admittedly. We seem to have an article on Madras Musings that has additional details. Overall, my take is that it is not as famous as The Hindu or The Indian Express, but, specifically for matters of local importance (in this case city history) we should be good to use the source.
- cricHQ.com
- CricHQ is a cricket database and sports management website that can be used to reference past scorecards. We do seem to have an article on CricHQ.
- "Seshachari was a member of the first All-Indian cricket team to tour England in 1911" is followed two sentences later by "making it the first all-Indian team to tour the British Isles". We don't need both; I suggest making the first reference "Seshachari was a member of the Indian cricket team that toured England in 1911", since the later reference provides a little extra detail.
Done
That's everything; the article is in good shape. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:50, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for this review @Mike Christie:. Acknowledging the notes from above. I am buried with work related deadlines. Will try to sneak some time to read in-detail and address the comments. Much appreciate some time. Thanks. Ktin (talk) 15:55, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
- No problem; I'll check in in a week to see if you've had time, but I'm happy to keep the review open for a while if you're planning to work on it. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:36, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
- Many thanks for your patience Mike Christie. I think I have addressed your requests. But, if there is something else I can do, please do not hesitate to let know. Thanks. Ktin (talk) 22:15, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
- OK on the sources and the change looks good; passing. I know you said you're busy but your nominations are now near the top of the queue so I'll probably pick another one up shortly; no worries if you need to take a little time to work on them, if work is necessary.
