Samarjitsinh Gaekwad Biography
Samarjitsinh was born on 25 April 1967 as the only son of Ranjitsinh Pratapsinh Gaekwad and Shubhanginiraje. He studied at The Doon School in Dehradun where he simultaneously captained the school’s cricket, football and tennis teams. Ranjitsinh became the unofficial Maharaja of Baroda after the death of his elder brother Fatehsinghrao Gaekwad in 1988.
Samarjitsinh Ranjitsinh Gaekwad (born 25 April 1967) is an Indian cricket administrator and former first-class cricketer. He is also the current head of the Gaekwad dynasty and the unofficial Maharaja of Baroda since 2012.
Samarjitsinh played cricket for Baroda in the Ranji Trophy. He appeared in six first-class matches as a top-order batsman between the 1987/88 and 1988/89 seasons. He later became a cricket administrator and served as the president of the Baroda Cricket Association. As of 2015, he runs a cricket academy at the Moti Bagh Stadium. Apart from cricket, he played golf and built a 10-hole golf course and clubhouse at the Laxmi Vilas Palace complex.
Since 2002, Samarjitsinh is married to Radhikaraje, who is from the royal family of Wankaner State; the couple has two daughters. The four of them, along with Shubhanginiraje, live in the Laxmi Vilas Palace, which is the largest private residence in India. After becoming Maharaja, Samarjitsinh opened a section of the palace complex as a banquet facility for private ceremonies under his Laxmi Vilas Banquets venture.
As Ranjitsinh became the Maharaja, Samarjitsinh became part of the line of succession for the Baroda’s Gaekwad dynasty. After the death of his father in May 2012, Samarjitsinh became the natural successor to the throne. He was crowned Maharaja in a traditional ceremony at Laxmi Vilas Palace on 22 June 2012.

Through the deal, Samarjitsinh secured ownership of Laxmi Vilas Palace, over 600 acres (240 ha) of real estate near the palace including Moti Bagh Stadium and Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum, several paintings by Raja Ravi Varma as well as movable assets belonging to Fatehsinghrao such as gold, silver and royal jewelry.
