Early life Hazare was born in Sangli, into Marathi Christian family, in the then Bombay Presidency of British India in 1916, one of eight children of a school teacher.

A "shy, retiring" man (according to ''Wisden'' in 1952), it was widely thought that he was not a natural captain and that his batting suffered as a result.
