Former international umpire Piloo Reporter passed away on September 3 at the age of 84 years. The veteran had a long and illustrious career as an official. He stood in 14 Tests and 22 ODIs in a career spanning 28 years.
Reporter and another Indian umpire, V Ramaswamy, had the distinction of being the first pair of neutral umpires to officiate in a match since 1912, after they both were invited by former Pakistan captain Imran Khan to officiate a game between Pakistan and West Indies in 1986.
He was also an umpire at the 1992 World Cup. A legend in his field, Reporter started his career as an umpire in the Ranji Trophy before eventually making the move to international matches.
