Did you know... that in 2013, Sangramsinh Gaekwad and his nephew, Samarjitsinh Gaekwad (pictured) – the unofficial Maharaja of Baroda – settled a 23-year-long legal inheritance dispute worth more than ₹20,000 crore (US$3 billion)?

dob

Dee03 I know that as a heriditary (even unofficial) ruler his birth was likely reported in multiple sources and the date is well known, but per blp privacy issues I hate to see an unsourced dob. Can we find it somewhere and insert it here? --valereee (talk) 11:04, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The ESPNcricinfo link at the bottom of the infobox acts as the source to everything in the infobox. This is in line with other Cricket Wikiproject articles. His CricketArchive profile (behind a paywall) also verifies the DOB. Dee 03 16:49, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dee03, thank you! I had no idea there was such a thing. :) --valereee (talk) 19:36, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Only son?

In the article it is stated that he was the only son. A bit further it says he became maharadje after the death of his elder brother.

I can reconcile these two statements — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.82.165.114 (talk) 19:27, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It says Ranjitsinh became the Maharaja after the death of his elder brother (Ranjitsinh being Samarjitsinh's father). Dee 03 03:44, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
