'''Sandir Om Prakash''' (9 November 1929 – 8 August 1994) was an Indian [[first-class cricket]]er who represented [[Southern Punjab cricket team (India)|Southern Punjab]], [[Uttar Pradesh cricket team|Uttar Pradesh]] and [[Bihar cricket team|Bihar]] in the [[Ranji Trophy]] from 1946 to 1958.<ref>{{cite web | url-access=subscription |url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/40/40164/40164.html| title = Om Prakash| publisher = CricketArchive| access-date =7 March 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />
A batsman who sometimes opened the innings, and a bowler who sometimes opened the bowling, Om Prakash was most successful in his stint with Bihar, beginning in 1951. In his second match for them, in the [[1951–52 Ranji Trophy]], he opened the batting and scored 122 in 148 minutes in the second innings against [[Holkar cricket team|Holkar]].<ref>{{cite web |url = http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1950S/1951-52/IND_LOCAL/RANJI/BIHAR_HOLKAR_RJI_21-23DEC1951.html | title = Bihar v Holkar 1951-52| publisher = Cricinfo| access-date =7 March 2021}}</ref> Two years later he scored his second first-class [[Century (cricket)|century]], 124 for Bihar against [[Bengal cricket team|Bengal]], in a match in which he opened both batting and bowling.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1950S/1953-54/IND_LOCAL/RANJI/BIHAR_BENG_RJI_13-15FEB1954.html | title = Bihar v Bengal 1953-54| publisher = Cricinfo| access-date =7 March 2021}}</ref> His best bowling figures were 4 for 22 and 4 for 35 for [[Uttar Pradesh cricket team|United Provinces]] against Bihar in 1947–48.<ref>{{cite web | url-access=subscription |url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/18/18347.html| title = United Provinces v Bihar 1947-48| publisher = CricketArchive| access-date =7 March 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />
Om Prakash was selected in an [[India cricket team|Indian XI]] for one of the matches against the [[Commonwealth XI cricket team in India in 1953–54|Commonwealth XI]] in 1953–54, but the match was abandoned after student protestors dug up the pitch the day before the match was due to start.<ref>Sujit Mukherjee, ''Autobiography of an Unknown Cricketer'', Ravi Dayal, Delhi, 1996, p. 90.</ref> He was never selected for India again, but he did play for a team representing the rest of India in a [[friendly match]] against [[Mumbai cricket team|Bombay]] in 1954–55.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1950S/1954-55/IND_LOCAL/OTHERS/BOM_SILVER-JUBLIE-XI_27-29NOV1954.html | title = Bombay v Silver Jubilee XI 1954-55| publisher = Cricinfo| access-date =7 March 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />
He should not be confused with [[Om Prakash Kumaria]], an all-rounder for [[Eastern Punjab cricket team|Eastern Punjab]] in the 1950s.<ref>{{cite web |title=Om Prakash Kumaria |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/30694.html |website=Cricinfo |access-date=7 March 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url-access=subscription |url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/39/39593/39593.html| title = Om Kumaria| publisher = CricketArchive| access-date =7 March 2021}}</ref><br />
